Early detection is still the best defense on Cancer, or any disease for that matter. The best way to detect cancer early is to check in with your physician about a regular schedule for the appropriate tests, which are able to find cancer long before you have any symptoms. Breast and testes should be self-examined on a monthly basis, so that any changes will be immediately noticed. Especially if you are aged 25 and above.

There are many causes of cancer, and medical professionals are not always sure what triggers this problem. Since the experts are unsure, cancer is difficult to completely avoid, but in many cases you can lower the risk to which you are exposed. For instance, quitting smoking and not living a sedentary lifestyle can decease your chances of getting cancer.

Take care of your health and have a better life. Choose to be healthy and enjoy life!
