January 29th, 2009 | by admin |Cancer is without a doubt one of the worst diseases known. It can come in a wide variety of types each with its own aggressiveness and life expectancy. There are many cancers, such as prostate and non-lymphoma Hodgkin’s disease, that if detected early, have a high rate (up to 90%) of cure. There are other forms of cancer (i.e., pancreatic and ovarian) however, where the life expectancy and cure rates are much lower.

Even with all the excellent strides being made in cancer research and treatment, there is still a lot of work left to be done.
