Cancer is a rapidly spreading disease worldwide that causes millions of deaths every year.
There are several types of cancer, of which 6 are considered the most deadly.
Lung, liver, brain, oesophagus, pancreas and stomach cancers are considered to be the most deadly.

He added that early diagnosis of the disease increases the chances of treatment, so it is important that people know the symptoms of the disease and be able to monitor the changes in their body, even if the symptoms seem unrelated. It is better to consult a doctor.
