  Leading Cancers:
  Women: Breast (34 per 100,000), Cervical (25 per 100,000)
  Men: Prostate (17 per 100,000), Esophageal (9 per 100,000)
  
  But you will also find a lot of leukaemias (cancer of the blood) as well as throat cancers and stomach cancers.
  
  The causes of cancer are genetic, but you can have predisposing factors such as environmental influences such as plastics etc, lifestyle chances especially foods, exposure to harmful radioactive industrial wastes an chemicals
  
  Recently many people have been diagnosed as opposed to past years because of awareness and the availability of diagnostic tools.
  The best way to minimize cancers is to avoid or minimize on the predisposing factors and also get tested to see if you have a genetic reason and fin ways to prevent cancer
