Category Page: Cancer

Cancer is characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of cells that start growing abnormally and spread to other parts of the body. There are about 200 different types. Many cancers can be prevented or controlled through early detection, diet and physical activity, reduction of smoking and use of alcohol, and other healthy behaviours. Primary prevention activities focus on preventing cancer before it occurs while secondary prevention focuses on early detection and intervention.
