Introduction When I was small I used to hear about the

deaths of my relatives because of cancer that’s why I want to learn and inform other about Cancer.

Do you wish to learn about cancer? Do you think you should know how to prevent cancer and what are symptoms? Do you want to learn facts about cancer?

Well then I m sure this project will help.

What is Cancer? Cancer is the general name for a group of more

than 100 diseases in which cells in a part of the body begin to grow out of control. Although there are many kinds of cancer, they all start because abnormal cells grow out of control. Untreated cancers can cause serious illness and even death.

What is the history of Cancer The word cancer came from the father of

medicine, Hippocrates, a Greek physician. Hippocrates may have named "Cancer," he was certainly not the first to discover the disease. The history of cancer actually begins much earlier. The world's oldest documented case of cancer hails from ancient Egypt, in 1500b.c. 

What are types of Cancer? There are more than 200 types of cancer.

 Cancer can develop in almost any organ or tissue, such as the lung, colon, breast, skin, bones, or nerve tissue. The most common type of cancer is lung cancer. The type of cancer with lowest incidence is Leukemia cancer which started in the bone of human body.

What is lung Cancer? Lung Cancer is a cancer which starts in

lungs. It is the deadliest type of cancer for both men and women. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. Lung cancer has also occurred in people who have never smoked.

What is leukemia Cancer? Leukemia is cancer that starts in the tissue

that forms blood. For example: bone. This cancer leads a person to bleeding, anemia and infection.

What are the causes of Cancer?

Normal cells multiply when the body needs them, and die when the body doesn't need them. Cancer appears to occur when the growth of cells in the body is out of control and cells divide too quickly. It can also occur when cells forget how to die.

Transmission Cancer does not spread from one person to

another is therefore called non-contagious. Although cancer is non-contagious but it can be genetic. Cancer is a disease which can occur in a person at any age.

What are the symptoms? Symptoms of the

cancer depend on the type of cancer. Lung cancer can cause coughing,  shortness of breath. Some cancers may not have any symptoms at all.

Is there a treatment? Where there is a will there is a way. The

treatment depends on the specific type of cancer. The earlier the cancer is found, the better the chances of survival. Lung cancer is a deadly disease. Nearly 60% of people with lung cancer die within a year. However, some people are cured and go on to live many years.

Treatment 2 There are so many

medical centers and societies which are trying to help people suffering from Cancer.

How can we Prevent it? You can reduce the risk of getting a cancer by: 1.Eating a healthy diet. 2.Exercising regularly. 3.Maintaining a healthy weight. 4.Minimizing your exposure to toxic chemicals. 5.Not smoking . 6.Reducing sun exposure.

Data Analysis According to my data graph the number of

people suffering Lung Cancer (222520) is more than the number of people suffering from leukemia(43,050), melanoma(68,130) and thyroid(44,670) cancer. The leukemia cancer occurred the lowest.

My reaction Well in the end I think we all have the same

reaction to it. Everybody wants to avoid and help people suffering from Cancer. If you want to help people fighting cancer you can donate money to the cancer supporting communities.
