Cancer is one of the most leading causes of death in the world which have tremendous effects in the family, society and countries. In the world, one out of two men and one out of three women are suffering from various types of cancer. The female cancers are breast, cervical, intestine, stomach and lungs. Male cancers are mouth, lungs, prostate, alimentary, lever and stomach. There has not been the study of exact cause of cancer but many researchers have found that nutrition, taking of tobacco, occupational exposure, infections, environmental causes and other causes contribute to cancer.  Hepatitis B causes cancer of the liver and human papiloma virus (HPV) causes cervical cancer. Many women in the world suffer from breast cancers as the cell of the breast starts growing abnormally and have to lose the organ. If not treated in time, they have to die untimely. The intake of unhygienic food and non nutritious foods do not provide energy in the body and cannot increase immunity power. It brings various diseases including cancer. People working in coal mines, large scaled industries have to suffer from lungs cancer as they are exposed to various harmful gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, hydro carbon, sulfur dioxide and many more gases. Due to industrialization and urbanization in developed and developing countries, the risk of cancer is increasing high. The risk factor of cancer is smoking of tobacco which contains nicotine causing lungs and mouth cancer. Most of the people of the world smoke as it is the fashion in the modern era. More use of x-rays and ultra violet rays cause cancer. Cancer patient may experience loss of weight, blood loss through vagina, tenderness in some parts of the body like breast, regular hard coughs and regular diarrhea. Cancers can be prevented in some extent by creating healthy behaviors like use of hygienic foods, avoiding tobacco, alcohol, doing physical exercises, doing self mammary gland test, Pap smear and many more. Cancer can be treated in early stages by chemo therapy, gene therapy, radiations, immune therapy and various modern scientific measures. Vaccines are also the ultimate preventive measures for cancer. Example, vaccination for human papillomavirus causing cervical cancer and hepatitis B vaccination for hepatitis B virus which cause liver cancer.
Cancer is said to be incurable diseases but it's a very wrong concept because cancer can be treated if screening is done in time. However, the proper implementations of screening process have not been achieved in developing countries and it is very costly. Cancer is a silent killer disease in which many people die each year causing cancer. Cancer can be controlled but cannot be eradicated from the root.
