Cancer develops when the body's cells multiply uncontrollably, leading to tumors, aberrant growth, or, in some cases, like leukemia, changes in blood components where improper development is invisible. Depending on their stage and kind, different cancers can have different symptoms and start in different places of the body. In terms of new instances, the most common cancer types are skin, colorectal, lung, prostate, and breast cancers. These tumors are one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality. Early identification through screening and symptom awareness are necessary to increase survival rates. Early cancer detection by routine screening and awareness of potential symptoms (e.g., lumps, persistent coughs, or changes in bowel habits) can significantly improve survival odds. With advancements in early detection and treatments, many cancers are now treatable, especially when identified at an early stage. Below, we explore the ten most common cancer types that account for a significant portion of cancer cases worldwide.
