CANCER (DISEASE)
|
|
|
|
In modern society cancer is the disease most feared by the majority of
|
|
people throughout the world, supplanting the "white death," or
|
|
tuberculosis, of the last century; the "black death," or bubonic plague,
|
|
of the Middle Ages; and the leprosy of biblical times. Cancer has been
|
|
known and described throughout history, although its greater prevalence
|
|
today is undoubtedly due to the conquest by medical science of most
|
|
infectious diseases and to the increased life span of humans. The study of
|
|
cancer is known as the field of ONCOLOGY. In the mid-1980s nearly 6 million
|
|
new cancer cases and more than 4 million deaths from cancer were being
|
|
reported world-wide each year. The most common fatal form was stomach
|
|
cancer (prevalent in Asia), but lung cancer has risen rapidly, because of
|
|
the spread of cigarette smoking in developing countries, to become the
|
|
leading fatal cancer in the world today. Also on the increase is the
|
|
third-greatest killer, breast cancer, particularly in China and Japan. The
|
|
fourth on the list is colon or rectum cancer, a disease that mainly strikes
|
|
the elderly. In the United States in the mid-1980s, more than one-fifth of
|
|
all deaths were caused by cancer; only the cardiovascular diseases
|
|
accounted for a higher percentage. In 1990 the American Cancer Society
|
|
predicted that about 30 percent of Americans will eventually develop some
|
|
form of the disease. In the United States skin cancer is the most
|
|
prevalent cancer in both men and women. Lung cancer, however, causes the
|
|
most deaths in both men and women. LEUKEMIA, or cancer of the blood, is
|
|
the most common type seen in children. An increasing incidence of cancer
|
|
has been clearly observable over the past few decades, due in part to
|
|
improved cancer screening programs, to the increasing number of older
|
|
persons in the population, and also to the large number of tobacco
|
|
smokers--particularly among women. Some researchers have estimated that if
|
|
Americans stopped smoking cigarettes, lung-cancer deaths could virtually be
|
|
eliminated within 20 years.
