9 Most Common Cancers - How to Prevent

Cancer?

Over 12.7 million people around the world will learn they have cancer this
year.
Nearly 60% or 7.6 million people globally will die from it.
Terrifying, isnt it? And, in general, the rates continue to climb every year.
Cancer is now the second leading cause of death in the United States
after heart disease.
The World Health Organization expects that, unless something is done,
the global projected number of cancer-related deaths will rise 80% by the
year 2030.
Are you at risk? I think you know the answer to that already.
Now find out which cancers youre most at risk for and more
importantly, how to become a cancer survivor rather than a casualty if
cancer ever touches your life.
Top 9 Most Common Cancers
Statistics, Symptoms and Survival Rates
Here is a list of the most common cancers in the United States and the
American Cancer Societys predictions for patients this year. While death
rates are lower than in countries without advanced medical care theyre
still significantly high.
1. Prostate Cancer 241,740 estimated cases in 2012
Estimated deaths in 2012: 28,170

Prostate cancer is more common in those of African American ethnicity.

Aging men are at general risk for prostate cancer and should be screened
regularly with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. Obesity and smoking
also increase the risks. This is the second most lethal cancer in men.
The symptoms of an advanced stage prostate cancer are seen mostly in
urination disruption and abnormalities, including the need to urinate
frequently, and blood or pain with urination.
Over 90% of cases are discovered before the cancer can spread. The 5year survival rate is nearly 100% for these cases.
2. Breast Cancer 229,060 estimated cases in 2012
Estimated deaths in 2012: 39,920
The major risks for breast cancer include being female, aging, weight
gain, alcohol and use of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT).
Unfortunately, breast cancer tumors are most treatable when they are
small and produce no symptoms.
That is why, according to the American Cancer Society, it is so important
to have regular screenings, self-exams and mammograms. The larger the
mass becomes, the more painful it will become.
The 5-year survival rate for women with localized breast cancer that is,
cancer that has not spread to other tissues is up to 99%. For cases in
which the cancer has spread, the rate falls to 84%.
3. Lung Cancer 226,160 estimated cases in 2012
Estimated deaths in 2012: 160,340
Lung cancer is by far the most lethal cancer. It accounts for 28% of all
cancer-related deaths. Thankfully, it is only diagnosed in 14% of cancer
patients.
Smoking cigarettes is the biggest risk factor for lung cancer. Symptoms
include a persistent cough that may have blood in it, chest pain and
reoccurring pneumonia or bronchitis.
The 5-year survival rate for lung cancer is only 16%.
4. Colorectal Cancer 143,460 estimated cases in 2012
Estimated deaths in 2012: 51,690

Risk factors for colorectal cancer include aging, obesity, alcohol use,
smoking and a high consumption of red meat or processed meat.
Like breast cancer, early stage colorectal cancer does not present
symptoms. Understandably, this is one of the most under-screened
cancers only 39% of patients are diagnosed at the early stage.
Advanced stage symptoms may present lower abdominal pain, cramping,
anemia and rectal bleeding.
64% of colorectal cancer patients live for 5 years after diagnosis, and
58% live up to 10 years. When detected early, the 5-year survival rate is
90%.
5. Skin Cancer and Melanoma 81,240 estimated cases in 2012
Estimated deaths in 2012: 12,190
While genetics can influence your susceptibility to skin cancer, other
factors such as an unusual amount of moles and a history of
overexposure to the sun can also play a role in developing a melanoma.
The best way to detect skin cancer is to pay attention to changes in your
skin. Unusual changes or new moles should be examined by a doctor.
Most cases of skin cancer can be cured easily if detected early. The 5-year
rate of survival is 91% in localized cases.
6. Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) 70,130 estimated cases in
2012
Estimated deaths in 2012: 20,130
Lymphoma is essentially white blood cell cancer, wherein the B cells or T
cells of the lymphatic system grow or change uncontrollably. The
lymphatic system makes up the majority of our immune system.
Often, the cause of lymphoma is unknown. However, it is sometimes seen
in aging patients who have had their immune system repressed, or in the
presence of autoimmune disease.
Symptoms of lymphoma include swollen lymph nodes, itching, night
sweats and unexplained weight loss.
The 5-year survival rate of NHL is 67%.
7. Bladder 73,510 estimated cases in 2012

Estimated deaths in 2012: 14,880

Cigarette smokers are four times more likely to develop bladder cancer
than non-smokers. The most common symptom of a bladder growth is
blood in the urine. There is currently no screening method for those at
average risk.
50% of all cases are diagnosed when tumors are noninvasive. The 5-year
survival rate for these cases is up to 97%. Cases with invasive tumors
that have spread to a local region have a survival rate of 71%.
8. Kidney (Renal) Cancer 64,770 estimated cases in 2012
Estimated deaths in 2012: 13,570
The risk of kidney cancer is very strong if you smoke. 30% of cases can
also be attributed to obesity. Hypertension and high blood pressure are
also risk factors.
92% of kidney cancers are in the form of renal cell carcinoma, which
develop in the kidneys filtering microtubules that lead to the bladder.
Symptoms of a tumor include pain in the lower back or abdomen, blood in
the urine, weight loss and swelling in the lower extremities.
The 5-year survival rate for renal cell carcinoma is 71%. However, when
diagnosed at an early stage, the rate jumps up to 91%.
9. Thyroid 56,460 estimated cases in 2012
Estimated deaths in 2012: 1,780
The most obvious symptom of thyroid cancer is a lump in the neck.
Difficulty breathing or swallowing, swollen lymph nodes, and chronic
throat pain are also signs of a growth.
Major risks for thyroid cancer are a family history and exposure to
radiation.
The 5-year survival rate for thyroid cancer patients is 97% for cases that
have spread to the region, but is nearly 100% for localized cases.
A Simple Cancer Solution
Whats your risk of cancer?
1 in 3 for women and 1 in 2 for men!

Thats the statistical likelihood that you will develop cancer at some point
in your life.
But I dont suggest you roll over and accept that you may get one of
these common cancers.
I suggest you fight back and learn how to prevent cancer.
Research has shown that over 30% of cancer cases could have been
prevented. But I maintain that nearly all cases can be prevented. (And I
dont buy in to genetics causing cancer, and neither should you.)
Consider these guidelines from Mayo Clinic on how to prevent cancer:

Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Base your diet on fruits,

vegetables and other foods from plant sources such as whole
grains and beans.

Avoid obesity.

If you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation.

Limit processed meats.

Stop Smoking

Avoid midday sun

Get immunized against Hepatitis B and Human papillomavirus

(HPV)

Avoid unprotected sex and no sharing of needles

Get regular self-exams and screenings for various types of cancers

such as cancer of the skin, colon, cervix and breast

Cancer Fighting Foods They Don't Want You To Know About!
A cancerous cell is acidic. If your body is in a constant state of overacidification, it becomes impossible for healthy cells to regenerate.
Cancer cells thrive in an overly acidic environment. By taking action to
become more alkaline, you can make it more difficult for cancer cells to
regenerate.

Eating an acid/alkaline balanced diet is the key to staying healthy.

Understanding the pH of the foods that you eat is relative to the state of
your body's health.
The goal of the acid alkaline balance diet, also known as the alkaline
diet and the alkaline ash diet, is to achieve an optimal balance between
acid-forming and alkaline-forming foods.
The anti-cancer alkaline diet greatly reduces the strain on the body's aciddetoxification systems.
Detailed information about this diet can be found in the anti-cancer
alkaline diet book: The Acid Alkaline Balance Diet
By Jesse Cannone - Creator of the International Best-Selling Back
Pain Treatment Program "Lose the Back Pain System" and BestSelling Book "The 7 Day Back Pain Cure"
Unlike most treatments which only deliver temporary relief, if any
at all, muscle balance therapy delivers lasting relief to 8 out of 10
people who use it because it addresses the underlying cause of
the pain, not just the symptoms.
If you are suffering from any type of back pain, neck pain or
sciatica, I urge you to learn more about this breakthrough new
treatment. Click HERE to learn more
