Summary: The Second Leading Cause Of Cancer

In the United States, it’s estimated that roughly 1 in 5 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. According to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program (SEER) of the National Cancer Institute, “the number of new cases of prostate cancer was 129.4 per 100,000 men per year. The number of deaths was 20.7 per 100,000 men per year. These rates are age-adjusted and based on 2009-2013 cases and

Document A is mainly about how people are getting cancer and it also shows the rate of people that getting cancer and the number of rates that dying from cancer. Document B is mainly about whats causes cancer and things that can cause cancer would be food, drink, habit such as smoking tobacco and basking in the sun Document C. mainly talks about how you can prevent from getting cancer id by making sure proto oncogenes dont turn on by keep a healthy growth. Document D mainly talks about how employees who are accidentally or chronically exposed to carcinogenic agents are at risk of developing cancer Documents E is mainly talking about how when normal cells get turned into cancer some of the protons would change. Document F shows how the immune

Cancer is the leading cause of death in economically developed countries and the second leading cause of death in developing countries. Based on the GLOBOCAN 2008 estimates, about 12.7 million cancer cases and 7.6 million cancer deaths are estimated to have occurred in 2008. The leading cause of cancer mortality in females is breast cancer, accounting for 23% followed by lung cancer and cervical cancer accounting for 11% respectively. Furthermore, estimates show that, the leading cause of cancer mortality in males is lung cancer accounting for 17% of the total new cancer cases and 23% in total cancer deaths. [2].

Approximately 1,685,210 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States (US) in 2016, equivalent to 192 new diagnoses every hour (Siegel, Miller, & Jemal, 2016). Although survival rates of cancer patients have been increasing, it is the second-leading cause of death in the US and leading cause of death in the world (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2015; Davis, 2016). Siegel et al. estimates 595,690 individuals will die from cancer in 2016 in the US.

Cancer is figured to be the second leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. With approximately 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer related deaths in 2012, alone .Why are so many people stuck suffering with this deadly disease? Millions of dollars have been invested into cancer research, yet there is no cure. Are these pharmaceutical companies focus on finding a cure for cancer or concentrating on elongated treatments in order to lengthen their pockets? We must first understand that cancer is big business earning huge profits. Nonetheless, the cancer industry is spending virtually zilch of its multi-billion dollar resources on effective prevention strategies, like dietary guidelines, exercise, natural remedies and herbs proven to cure cancer. Instead, it pours its money into treating cancer, not preventing or allaying it.

When someone says the word “disease” or “illness” the most common association with these words are Cancer. Cancer is so frighteningly common that it is expected by The American Cancer Society to have 564,800 people die of cancer this year which is a little more than 1,500 people a day. Cancer is the second leading cause of death. With these statistics to back up Cancer one will see walks supporting cancer, media discussing possible new found cures, nfl football players wearing pink to support breast cancer awareness, the Susan G. Komen foundation and so many other big foundations raising millions of dollars towards a cure. Where are the walks or large foundations to raise awareness of diseases for psychosis such as Schizophrenia? Schizophrenia

According to Cancer council Australia, Breast cancer was the second most common cause of cancer death in women in 2012 whereas it is expected to be the 3rd most common cause of cancer death this year. In 2012, 15166 cases of new breast cancer were diagnosed whereas the estimated number of new breast cancer diagnosis in 2016 is about 16084 with 90% five year survival rate. ("Cancer Australia “, 2016). Breast cancer accounts 12.3% of all cancer diagnosis and 6.3% of cancer deaths in Australia. The diagnosis of breast cancer in men is low compared to women. (1 in 688 by the age of 85).

As previously mentioned most people believe that the cure for cancer is already present or is easy to obtain but in actuality it is the complete opposite. In actuality there are many steps that have to be done before any form pharmacotherapies or therapies are implemented to serve those who have

Cancer is a serious and ever growing disease throughout the United States and across the globe. According to data from the National Cancer Institute (2016), about 39.6% of men and women will receive a cancer diagnosis within their lifetime. Due to advancements in screening and treatment, more people are now living with cancer longer than ever before. In 2014, there were close to 14.5 million people living with a cancer diagnosis and this number is going to rise nearly 5 million over the following 10 years (NCI, 2016). The 5-year survival rate for all cancers is also quite high at 68%. Despite the hopeful fact that survival rates are increasing, the incidence rate is also growing, meaning more people are being diagnosed with cancer (Von Roenn et al., 2013).

This year in the United States there will be an estimated 1,665,540 diagnosed cancer cases and 585,720 deaths due to the disease.1 Cancer ranks as the second most common cause of death in the US only behind heart disease. As cancer accounts for nearly a quarter of all deaths in the United States2, many people view the diagnosis of cancer as a death sentence. This feeling of hopelessness can lead patients to make questionable decisions regarding treatment options. While current advances have led to increasingly positive prognoses for those diagnosed with differing forms of cancer, the significant death rate among those same patients may deter cancer patients from seeking traditional therapies and treatments. What people often times do not realize is that most of these alternative forms of treatment that have not been proven to be effective may be more detrimental to patients’ health than the actual cancer itself. In order to fully understand the effectiveness of the treatments that a patient is going to receive, it is important to look not only the physiological effects of the treatments themselves, but also the effects of the disease.

“Cancer does not have a face until it’s yours or someone you know.”(Del Monte) Cancer is a worldwide disease that affects each and every person either directly or indirectly. In the human body, there are millions of cells that grow and divide to create new cells as the body needs them. However, when cancer develops, the cells begin to divide uncontrollably creating abnormal cells. According to the Canadian Cancer Foundation, there are over 555 people diagnosed with cancer daily. With that being said, Cancer is a major concern in today’s society that affects everyone, both patients and their loved ones, and requires immediate treatment as a solution.

Cancer has become a common medical term in today’s history. Cancer has facilitated to the significant increase in deaths in many nations, both in developed and third world countries. In fact, there’s a rise in trend of cancer since the year 1995.The medical reports suggests that since 1995, nearly 2,600,000 men in the United States have been diagnosed with cancer disease (American Urology Association, 2007). Furthermore, the National Cancer Institute has spent billions on Prostate cancer research since November 2005(American Urology Association, 2007). Because of these reasons, cancer, precisely prostate cancer has become a major catastrophe that needs to be seriously looked into or else it is going to gradually wipe our entire population.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Cancer is when abnormal cells divide into smaller cells without control and could invade other tissues without you even knowing until check-up time comes around. It can spread through the blood and lymphatic systems. There are numerous types of cancer that can affect any organ in your body. Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which we are made up of a trillion cells. Usually, when we get a scab or a scratch, new cells form to create a scar. Human cells nurture and split to form new cells when the body needs them. When cancer develops, this process breaks down. The cells caused by cancer become more and more abnormal. The old and destroyed cells stay alive when

Cancer is abnormal cell growth disease, one of the foremost diseases in the world and most severe clinical problems in the world with increasing frequency every year. Regardless of avoiding behavioral risk factors such as tobacco, virus infection, preventive managements as dietary, medication and vaccination. The cancer disease still affects millions of patients’ worldwide (Sharma et al., 2016).

There are two main types of cancers, and one subtype that are not necessarily caused by prolonged sun exposure and/or UV radiation. These are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC), and actinic keratosis. There are also very rare cancers such as sarcomas, cutaneous lymphomas, and Merkel cell
