Hi,

Can anyone give me advice on the following questions?

-Currently what are the percentages of people finding out their cancer in early stages?

-May I know what are some of the possible symptom a person will get to find out that he or she might had been infected with cancer?

-What are some possible ways a person can do to prevent getting cancer?

-Is there any cancer research plan coming up?

I think your questions are just too broad to be answered adequately herein. I presumed you’re new in this field; so I suggest you check out the following authoritative links first:

1] http://www.cancer.org/docroot/stt/stt_0.asp ;

2] http://www.cancer.gov/ ; and

3] my alma mater here: http://www.roswellpark.org/Home.

If you still couldn’t find what you needed from these databases, you might want to get a latest medical textbook and look for its “cancer” or “oncology” chapter(s) where you might find answers to your general questions above. Good luck!

Thank you all for your kind attention and cooperation in this matter. Happy reading, scrutinizing, introspecting, and enlightening! smile.gif

It depends upon the type of cancer as to how fast it progresses. The more you know about your type, grade and stage of cancer, the more closely you can predict your risk.

The best detection is going to be regular screenings and family history. For certain types of cancers there are now tests available to detect whether you *might* be at a higher risk than the average person.
