Perhaps one of the most used words and is most frightening when it comes to their health and reverse disease. Cancer is the term and is used for a group of diseases that have a common denominator: the transformation of normal cell into one that behaves very dangerous for the human body. This report seeks to clarify the basic concepts to understand what this group of diseases and explain, more widely, those types of cancer most common in our society. want to prevent cancer Although the cause of cancer is unknown in many cases, and multifactorial in others, is known about risk factors that increase the likelihood of cancer and should be avoided, such as any other mode tabaquismoo smoking. It is estimated that up to 50% of cancers could be prevented. A vaccine is newly approved against cervical cancer, which affects and kills hundreds of women around the world.

The marketing of this vaccine has already been approved several countries and studies the adoption of other vaccines against skin cancer and prostate cancer. prognosis cancer prognosis is a prediction of the future course and outcome of disease. Others who may share this opinion include Gary Kelly. Doctors can not be hundred percent sure about the future of the patient. In fact, the prognosis of a patient may change over time. Survival rates indicate the percentage of people with a certain type and stage of cancer survive the disease for a specified period after diagnosis. Larry Ellison has much experience in this field. Many factors affect a person's prognosis, including the type, location and stage of disease and the patient's age, overall health and response to treatment. Statistics In 2002 the world will be diagnosed in about 10 .900.000 new cases of cancer (5.8 million 5.1 million men and women). The largest number of patients are diagnosed in Asia (4.9 million), but the highest incidence rates in both sexes, occur in North America and Australia.

The incidence in the countries of southern Europe (Which is part of Spain) can be considered high for the average for males and females. Considering both sexes, the most common cancer is lung cancer (1.352 million cases), followed by breast (1.151 million), the colorectal (1.023 million), stomach (933 000), prostate (679 000), liver (626 000 ), cervix (494 000) and esophagus (462 000). But there are big differences between the sexes and between more and less developed countries, which is a reflection of the different risk factors that predominate in both areas (food and sexual habits, infections …) The most common cancers in women are ( in this order) the breast, cervix, colorectal and lung. In the male lung, prostate, stomach and colorectal cancers. The number of cases increases slowly in the world, due to two main reasons: the increase in world population and rising life expectancy, which involves aging. But you can not underestimate a real increase in wholesale exposure to risk factors. For more information visit –
