Cancer is a word which describes a group of diseases that share the same character of uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. It's a complex disease. There are over 100 different types of cancer. These diseases all manifest themselves in different ways.  It's easy to think that the development of cancer is something you have no control over. The truth is you can do a great many things to reduce your risk.

The thought of cancer is scary.  But, it doesn't have to be.  Most all cancers can be prevented and/or treated.  The secret is finding cancer at it early, most treatable, stage.
