Cancer affects millions of people throughout the world in unimaginable ways. People end up really sick or even pass away due to this sickness. In this paper, various parts of cancer such as its formation, its spread, its treatments, and how many people are affected by it are discussed. There are many cancer causing factors that can be decreased. Along with that, treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy, surgery, and more can be studied to create a better chance at survival for cancer patients. All of these factors allow for a deeper understanding of cancer which is vital to improving cancer’s survival rate and how many people it affects on a day-to-day basis.
