principle, any organ of the human body are affected by cancer, there are significant frequency differences by age, gender, collective membership, geographic region, food habits, etc. In Germany, cancer diseases frequently in organs such as breast (women), prostate ( men), lung and bowel wall.
cancer after heart and circulatory diseases are the second leading cause of death in Germany. However, not every cancer progression is deadly, if timely therapy is initiated or the cancer appears only in advanced age and then slowly grows. The current cure rate average for all cancers is 30 to 40 percent. As is known in oncology cured a patient who is at least five years without relapse (recurrence) survives. This definition of healing is problematic because many of the relapses occur at a later date. It, therefore, many patients will flow into the cancer-success statistics, which die later of cancer (see Cancer Atlas).
The cancer manifests itself in various forms and diseases, for this reason can not give general statements about life expectancy and chances of recovery are made. There are currently about 100 different cancer diseases are known, which differ in survival, treatment options and the formation of metastases in part, strong.
, the frequency of most cancers significantly with age, so that you can also view cancer as a disease of old age of cell growth. Besides smoking, other carcinogenic pollutants, family history (assessment) and viral infections are the leading causes of cancer.
through cancer prevention and early detection, the cancer risk under certain circumstances (depending on the time of diagnosis, the cancer and a conducive age of the patients) are significantly reduced.
