Cancer can occur in any age group but nearly all types are more common in middle aged and elderly people than in young people.
Most Common Type: Skin Cancer among men and women.
Most skin cancer is caused by not being properly protected by UV radiation.
Second Common Cancer among men: Prostate
Second Common Cancer among women: Breast
Cancer causing the most deaths: Lung
Common Cancers in Young Adults and Children
Leukenia and Brain Cancer.
Factors Increasing Cancer.
Tobacco - Tabacco causes many different types of cancer. Lung is the most common cancer caused by smoking. Second hand smoke also causes cancer to people who inhale too much of it.
Diet
A high fat diet may lead to cancer as well. These cancers include prostate, breast and colon cancer.
Sunlight
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun and from other sources (such as sunlamps and tanning booths) damages the skin and can cause skin cancer. Repeated exposure to ultraviolet radiation increases the risk of skin cancer .. The sun is ultraviolet rays are strongest during the summer from 11-3PM. (daylight saving time). Wearing protective clothing may help ward of sun exposure.
Alcohol
Drinking, large amount of alcohol increases the risk of cancer. Smoking and drinking are a double whammy for cancer. Overconsumption of alcohol can damage the liver and increase the risk of liver cancer. Some studies suggest that drinking alcohol also increases the risk of breast cancer. So if you drink at all, do so in moderation-not more than one or two drinks a day.
Radiation
X-rays used for diagnosis expose you to very little radiation and the benefits nearly always outweigh the risks. Try to avoid too many X-rays at once. Consult your doctor if you are concerned.
Hormone replacement therapy
Estrogen may help with the thinning of the bone but studies have also shown that it may be cancerous.
