Cancer is a disease characterized by abnormal cell growth that can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. Common symptoms include unusual lumps or tumors, bleeding, pain, weight loss, and fatigue. Cancers are primarily caused by environmental and lifestyle factors like tobacco use, poor diet, obesity, infections, and pollution. The most common cancer types are colorectal, skin, stomach, esophageal, prostate, and lung cancers. Prevention strategies include promoting cancer awareness, healthy behaviors, limiting alcohol, vaccination, and early detection programs. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, clinical trials, and targeted therapies.
