2. Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to
invade or spread to other parts of the body. Not all tumors are cancerous; benign
tumors do not spread to other parts of the body. Possible signs and
symptoms include a lump, abnormal bleeding, prolonged cough, unexplained weight
loss and a change in bowel movements.While these symptoms may indicate cancer,
they may have other causes. Over 100 cancers affect humans.

3. The analysis of cancer incidence trends is essential to health care
planning. The aim of this study is to examine variations in cancer
incidence rates in Lebanon between 2003 and 2008 and use the observed
trends to project cancer incidence until 2018.
Between 2003 and 2008, males and females presented with an overall
4.5% and 5.4% annual increase, respectively. Significant increases
were observed for cancers of the liver and prostate among males, and
for cancers of the liver, thyroid, and corpus among females. By 2018,
incidence rates were projected to approach 296.0 and 339.5 cases per
100,000 for males and females, respectively. The most common five
types of cancer are expected to be prostate, bladder, lung, non-
Hodgkin, and colon among males; ovarian, non-Hodgkin, lung, and colon
among females.

6. A risk factor is anything that affects the chance of getting a disease such
as cancer. Different cancers have different risk factors.
In adults, lifestyle-related risk factors, such as being overweight, eating an
unhealthy diet, not getting enough exercise, and habits like smoking and
drinking alcohol play a major role in many types of cancer. But lifestyle
factors usually take many years to influence cancer risk, and they are not
thought to play much of a role in childhood cancers.
A few environmental factors, have been linked with some types of
childhood cancers. Some studies have also suggested that some parental
exposures (such as smoking) might increase a child’s risk of certain cancers,
but more studies are needed to explore these possible links. So far, most
childhood cancers have not been shown to have environmental causes.
In recent years, scientists have begun to understand how certain changes
in the DNA inside our cells can cause them to become cancer cells. DNA is
the chemical that makes up our genes, which control nearly everything our
cells do. We usually look like our parents because they are the source of
our DNA. But DNA affects more than just how we look. It also influences our
risks for developing certain diseases, including some kinds of cancer.

13. There are many types of cancer treatment.
The types of treatment that you have will
depend on the type of cancer you have and
how advanced it is. Some people with cancer
will have only one treatment. But most
people have a combination of treatments,
such
as surgery with chemotherapy and/or radiatio
n therapy. You may also
have immunotherapy, targeted therapy,
or hormone therapy.
Clinical trials might also be an option for
you. Clinical trials are research studies that
involve people. Understanding what they are
and how they work can help you decide if
taking part in a trial is a good option for you.
