Cancer isn't something that we can find a universal cure for, at least not yet. And new treatments, like gold nanoparticles, the iknife, etc are still being tested.
I live in the UK, and the statistics are showing that by 2020, 1 in 2 people here will get cancer. Yes. Half of the population. I was born in 2003, and I'm 16 years old. So by the time I turn 60, which is around 2060-70, there may be revolutionary drugs and treatments out there, so there is a glimmer of hope.
Also, another study shows that 4 in 10 cancer cases can be prevented through lifestyle changes. But unfortunately, for a lot of people, this doesn't seem the case.
There are people who live the healthiest lives and still get cancer. This brings me to my question.
Are these unlucky people a minority? Do most people get cancer through their lifestyle rather than bad luck? I don't want to live a healthy life only to get cancer anyway, especially after seeing the statistics for the disease here in the UK.
