Signs You Need to Get a Cancer Screening
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is the second leading cause of death globally. In its latest findings, WHO reports that approximately 9.6 million people died from cancer in 2018. Cancer is a group of diseases that start when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably, spreading to other parts of the body. There are many types of cancers, but the most common ones include lung, stomach, cervical, liver, breast, colorectal, thyroid, and prostate. This disease is a significant burden to individuals, communities, and families worldwide, especially if it is not detected early enough.
