It is not a single disease, but rather a result of several errant biological outcomes. The mortality rates have improved a lot with better treatments, and around 60% of the population will develop some form of the disease in their lifespan.
The most disturbing part is most people are unaware they are ill until relatively late stages of the disease.
If you live long enough, one will know many good people that go this way. It is a worthy area of research, as it improves the lives of many families. =)
- JanSt 4y agoYes, my cancer was discovered pretty early by pure chance in a CT for an unrelated issue. I had zero symptoms, was really fit and pretty much never sick. Who knows how long it would have had time to mutate and grow otherwise. Early detection is a really important issue for cancer treatments.
