#1 Lung cancer

Lung cancer is frequently only discovered after it has developed to an advanced stage in many patients.

HEALTH

#2 Colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer may initially exhibit little or no symptoms. It can be curable and has a decent five-year survival rate if discovered early.

HEALTH

#3 Breast cancer

While the vast majority of cases are found in women, men make up around 1% of all breast cancer cases.

HEALTH

#4 Pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer, once it starts, tends to be one of the most aggressive of all cancers.

HEALTH

#5 Prostate cancer

Prostate tumors typically grow slowly. It typically affects older men, is more prevalent in black men, and is more likely to run in families.
