which cancer is the most fatal?

Answer 1

I believe it is lung cancer that takes that dubious distinction. Some of the other top mortalities are colon cancer, pancreatic cancer and stomach cancer.

Answer 2

Colorectal cancer is the second most frequent cause of death due to cancer (after lung cancer) in the industrialized world. It has become clear in recent years that colorectal cancer is not a single disease but a group of diseases, each with a different cause and behaviour. The genetic basis of this new syndrome is not known but it is speculated that affected families have a genetic predisposition to develop DNA methylation. There is already evidence that subjects with colorectal cancer showing DNA methylation are more likely to have a family history of colon cancer and other types of cancer. Moreover, the colorectal cancers appear to develop in polyps that have been considered to be entirely harmless and have therefore been ignored up to now. These polyps also show mutation of the oncogene BRAF and DNA methylation. It is likely that the same polyps may sometimes become malignant in patients who are not members of high-risk families.

Answer 3

The most aggressive cancer is GBM, Glioblastoma Multiforme. It has no cure, it is only treated symptomaticaly. As the person's brain pressures increase they are given Dexamethasone to relieve the swelling of the brain and a shunt or two is placed surgicaly in the brain to relieve the brain from the pressures. Maxalon or other anti emetics(anti sick) medications are given regularly also.
As with any cancer, it does not descriminate between age, sex, occupation, how much you prey, how little you prey, what you like, what you dislike.It is an asshat of a disease and it kills within 18mths of diagnosis, tops.
Other cancers can usualy be treated and can have a patient in remission, hopefully prolonging their great life they have.

Answer 4

All cancers are bad. All have a fatality rate. I think with the way we treat our bodys and lay in the sun, i would have to say melanoma can be the worse.

Answer 5

As others have mentioned (the trained ones, besides...) cancer can also be deadly. It is likely one of the so much agressive varieties of melanoma. It can also be identified very early in comparison to so much different cancers when you consider that its to your epidermis (quite often. It too can assault your eye. But agin, you'll be able to recognize you've gotten it), and so it's dealt with quicker than so much different cancers. Thus, the treatment cost is beautiful top. But if left on my own for too lengthy, it is going to metasticize and reason dying.

Answer 6

As others have mentioned (the told ones, anyway...) melanoma may also be deadly. It is one of the most agressive forms of melanoma. It may be famous very early in comparison with most other cancers given that its on your dermis (ordinarily. It could actually additionally assault your eye. However agin, you'll be able to be aware of you've it), and so it is dealt with than most other cancers. Consequently, the remedy expense is beautiful high. But if left by myself for too lengthy, it is going to metasticize and intent death.

Answer 7

Any time a cancer metasticizes, to the liver, especially, makes it very dangerous. In terms of survival rates, well pancreatic cancer is deadly, as was my husband's esophogeal cancer.

Answer 8

Well,

are you asking

1) mean time from diagnosis to death; usually shown as a "five year survival rate" which means what is the precentage chance you will be around 5 years after diagnosis.

if that is the case, it would be pancreas with an overall survival rate of 5%

2) if you are looking at overall deaths; number of deaths per year then it would be lung with 74.2 deaths per 100,000 people
