It can affect any tissue or organ and may lead to the formation of tumors or the disruption of normal bodily functions. Prevalence of Cancer: Cancer is a significant global health concern. According to the World Health Organization, it's estimated that cancer is responsible for nearly 1 in 6 deaths worldwide. The prevalence of cancer varies depending on the type and region, with certain types being more common than others. Treatment Options for Cancer: Cancer treatment varies depending on the type, stage, and individual circumstances. Treatment modalities may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and more.
