Cancer road map
Statistics
The global cancer burden is rising, driven by demographic changes and lifestyle factors. Advancements in early detection, prevention, and equitable healthcare access are essential to mitigate its impact.
Prevention
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), prevention offers the most cost-effective long-term strategy for controlling cancer. In essence, cancer prevention encompasses every action aimed at reducing the risk of developing cancer and mitigating its impact if already present.
Types of Cancer
There are over 100 types of cancer, classified based on the cell or tissue of origin. Understanding the type of cancer is critical for determining the appropriate treatment and care plan.
Treatment and their Side Effects
Cancer treatments aim to remove, destroy, or slow the growth of cancer cells while minimizing harm to normal cells. The choice of treatment depends on the cancer type, stage, and individual patient factors.
