Things to know about colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer, commonly known as bowel cancer, is a cancer caused by uncontrolled cell growth (neoplasia), in the colon, rectum, or vermiform appendix. Colorectal cancer is clinically distinct from anal cancer, which affects the anus.
Colorectal cancers start in the lining of the bowel. If left untreated, it can grow into the muscle layers underneath, and then through the bowel wall. Most begin as a small growth on the bowel wall: a colorectal polyp or adenoma. These mushroom-shaped growths are usually benign, but some develop into cancer over time. Localized bowel cancer is usually diagnosed through colonoscopy.

Signs and symptoms of prostate cancer
Prostate cancer may not cause any signs or symptoms, especially in the early stages. It may be found when you’ve had a PSA test or digital rectal examination. Symptoms may appear if the tumour makes the prostate larger than normal and it starts to press on the urethra. This can make passing urine more difficult or painful or you may need to go more often.

What causes cancer of the cervix?
Risk factors for cervical cancer
A risk factor is anything that affects a person's chance of getting a disease. Some risk factors, such as smoking, can be controlled. Others, like a person's age or race, can't be changed. But having a risk factor, or even several, does not mean that you will get the disease. Women without any risk factors rarely get cervical cancer. On the other hand, while these risk factors increase the odds of getting cervical cancer, many women with these risks do not get this disease.

Fight Breast Cancer at Every Meal
Pump Up Your Produce
Fruits and vegetables contain powerful antioxidants that help protect against all forms of cancer. Plus, they're low in calories, so loading up on them is an easy way to keep your weight in check. Studies have found that eating five servings of produce a day reduces the odds of a breast-cancer recurrence in women, especially when combined with daily exercise. Consuming more than that doesn't seem to have any additional preventive effect, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Your best bet, says the American Cancer Society's Marji McCullough, is to eat a wide variety of brightly colored produce. "That way you're more likely to get all the phytochemicals that are important to cancer prevention."
