Here at the Cancer Support and Care website we hope to educate people as to the major causes of cancer. Sedentary lifestyles and the typical diet of processed foods high in fats and sugars in developed countries is a major cause of increased risk of cancer.
Treatment of cancers depends mainly on the location of the cancer in the body and the degree to which it has spread elsewhere in the body. Typical methods of treatment for cancer include chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and radiation therapy, but again, this will be determined by the specific form of cancer and its prevalence.
