Cancer is a term that encompasses over 100 different diseases characterised by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. This can occur in various organs and tissues, including but not limited to the lungs, colon, breast, skin, bones, and nerves.
Detecting cancer early significantly improves survival rates. More than 50% of people diagnosed with cancer live for over 5 years, and some types of cancer have survival rates as high as 90%. Early diagnosis is crucial because early-stage cancer is more responsive to treatment and less likely to be fatal.
