Cancer is not one disease but many diseases.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Cancer touches every family in one way or another. As other diseases are brought under control, cancer is set to become the number one killer, and is already in epidemic proportions worldwide.
Cancer is a collection of many diseases with common principles, and each disease will have to be understood and more effectively controlled on its own terms.
It doesn't make sense that there is only one way of dealing with cancer.
Cancer is something that touches everyone's lives.
Having cancer is one thing; looking like you have cancer is another thing. It's a disease that already takes so much.
Cancer is the most pernicious, insidious, disgusting disease of life.
Unlike other diseases, the vulnerability to cancer lies in ourselves. We always thought of disease as exogenous, but research into cancer has turned that idea on its head - as long as we live, grow, age, there will be cancer.
Cancer is really a DNA disease... We have these certain genes that prevent our cells from growing out of control at the expense of the body. And it's a pretty good, robust system. But if a couple of these genes fail, then that's when cancer starts, and cells start growing out of control.
Cancer is just a horrible disease.
We talk about cancer as a noun, as if it's a one time event: 'I've got cancer.'
