Cancer Definition: cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Cancerous cells are also called malignant cells.

Cancer Mortality 14.1 million new cancer cases diagnosed million cancer deaths million people still live with cancer within 5 years of diagnoses –2012 WORLD WIDE

Focus The most focus is placed on BREAST cancer in women Men are also victims of breast cancer Little focus is placed on Prostate cancer Little focus is placed on Lung cancer Media coverage is mainly focused on the mentioned cancers yet there are many more that need attention.

Focus should be: Prostate cancer, Lung cancer Soft tissue melanoma Liver cancer Breast cancer All the 200+ cancers

Why shift the Focus Cancer kills and it does not matter if it is breast cancer or prostate cancer, If the cancer is not detected in the early stages, the chances of being successfully treated diminish. 65% of cancer deaths occur in developed regions, that was 5.3 million deaths 2012.

Who dies from Cancer? Cancer does not know age Cancer does not know sex Cancer does not know ethnicity Cancer does not know sexual orientation Cancer does not know borders Cancer does not discriminate

Reasons for high mortality The lack of knowledge Misdiagnoses Lack of treatment facilities Not listening to your body Late diagnoses Lack of funds for treatments

Who does Cancer Affect? Patient Family Friends Colleagues Economies

What can be done? Keep an eye on and listen to your body. Regular self examination – men and women Regular checkups Don’t delay going to the doctor when something does not seem right. Do not hesitate to get a second opinion.
