And how can it be prevented?  

 

Which cancer

Actor Dheer had already won his battle against cancer, but his condition had deteriorated significantly over the past few months. His condition had become critical due to the recurrence of the cancer. He underwent surgery, but even then, he could not be saved. Although the exact type of cancer he had has not yet been determined, the number of deaths due to cancer has increased significantly in the past few years. Due to poor diet and lifestyle, a large number of people are falling prey to it. 

 

How dangerous is cancer becoming?

Cancer has become one of the most dangerous diseases in the world today. This disease is caused by the uncontrolled growth of cells in the body, which gradually impairs organ function. Importantly, cancer doesn't stop where it begins; it can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph. This makes it difficult to treat and increases the risk of death. According to a WHO report, approximately 10 million people worldwide died from cancer in 2020. This statistic proves that cancer has become a leading cause of death worldwide. The US National Cancer Institute (NCI) also confirms that most deaths are due to the spread of cancer, or metastasis, rather than just the initial tumor. This condition of cancer makes it more dangerous than other diseases.

 

How can you protect yourself?

Regarding what can be done to prevent cancer, if it's not detected in its early stages, it can spread rapidly to other parts of the body. To reduce this risk, you can make lifestyle changes, such as avoiding tobacco and alcohol, eating a healthy diet, and exercising daily. Additionally, people resort to surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy to prevent it. However, the effectiveness of these treatments is determined only after the patient recovers.
