There are over 70 different types of cancer, the most common being cancer of the lungs, breast, colorectum, prostate, and stomach. The signs and symptoms of cancer depend on the type of cancer and whether it has spread. The most common treatments for Cancer are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Chemotherapy and radiation work by killing cancer cells or to slow their growth; it can be given through a vein or through a pill.
