Abstract
- Cancer is a broad term that encompasses over one hundred different types of Cancer. Although each type has its own set of characteristics, there are some cancer symptoms that occur in many types of cancer. It is important to note that some types of cancer do not present any symptoms until they are in advanced stages. This is why cancer screening and risk assessment are vital for cancer prevention and early detection. A broad spectrum of non-specific cancer symptoms may include Persistent Fatigue, Unintentional Weight Loss, Pain, Fever, Bowel Changes, Chronic Cough etc. Keep in mind that these are very general, vague symptoms of cancer. If you have one or two of these symptoms, it is not a red flag for cancer but more an indication to your doctor to run certain medical tests. The symptoms listed above are experienced by most people with cancer at various stages of their disease, but are also linked to many other non- cancerous conditions. Cancer prevention is easier than you think. With a few simple lifestyle changes, you can drastically reduce your risk of many types of cancer. Many factors play a role in cancer development, but the good news is that most can be avoided. However Smoking and Exposure to Smoke, Exposing to Sun, Plenty of Red Meat and Animal Fat intake, Heavy Alcohol consumption, Polluted work Environment, Unsafe practice of Sex, Modern life style and food habit are the factors if can be avoided then cancer can be prevented. Apart from above precautionary factors, modern treatment techniques like Photodynamic Therapy, Radio Therapy, Hormone Therapy, Chemo Therapy, Targeted Therapy etc. now a days are more popular for treatment of cancer.
