Top Deadliest Cancers

October 16, 2007 by Gloria Gamat  
Filed under Diseases & Conditions

As reported by the US Government and the CDC, the top four deadliest cancers are the following:

  1. Lung cancer
  2. Colon cancer
  3. Breast cancer
  4. Prostate cancer

We should remember though that if detected in it’s early stage, cancer need not be deadly. Moreover, if you have a family history of cancer, you should keep in mind to adjust the other cancer risk factors that can be adjusted such as your diet and your lifestyle.

In any other form of cancer, smoking and drinking alcohol are always listed in the lifestyle factors involved. So make sure to avoid those.

Like in any other serious condition, prevention is always better than treatment in terms of cancer.

Check out the CDC’s cancer page to find more about facts and figures on cancer.

Now, I need your participation by helping me complete the list to 10

5.  ovarian cancer

6.  cervical cancer

7.  pancreatic cancer

8.  naso-pharyngeal cancer

9.  brain cancer

10.

    Great point that early detection is the key to beating cancer. The majority of diseases needn’t be deadly if they’re caught early and treated swiftly.

    Well, I don’t know what order it would fall into, but the scary melanoma comes to mind. That, and any kind that strikes female reproductive organs – the “inside” ones, ha – like ovarian, cervical, etc.

    Hi.

    Nice blog and well presented. I was just browsing and came across it.

    I recently came across information about a
    doctor with terminal cancer who cured himself,
    and went on to cure others. This appears to have happened around 1948 but the information is claimed to have been suppressed.

    This post reminded me about it, so I must go
    back now to my own blog and shortly post
    a review of the material which appears to
    be well endorsed with cancer patients who
    ‘walked in dead, and walked out alive’.

    My own blog is in the wellness health and fitness niche too.

    Take care,
    Mark

    i heard that non-hodgkin’s lymphoma is one of the top 5 deadliest cancers.

    Stomach cancer needs proper attention, too.
    To ponder a little about prevention, eat your fruits and veges everyday [ minimum of 5 servings of each].
    Reduce your abuses : cured meats/ fast foods/ heavy-salted foods/ heavy dye usage/ smoke meats and fish/ sausages with high nitrite levels / greasy foods/ ; the list goes on and on .
    Take care of this main issue and half the battle is won.
