Cancer

The risk at cancer to get sick, did not change within living memory. Malicious illnesses are today after cardiovascular diseases the cause of death Number 2.
Todesursachen
(Causes of death in Germany; deaths in per cent )

In addition, we count today more cancer, we become older. In former times humans did not experience a cancer illness (only in developing understood was) no more, it too early deceased. The life expectancy amounted at times Jesu (before 2 thousand years) only about more than 30 years, today well over 80. Still before 100 years experienced only each second Newborn its 50. birthday.

In addition the localizations of cancer changed, obviously as a function of the standard of living, culture area, sex and age.

For example: While in former times stomach cancer was very frequent, it plays only a subordinated role, colon cancer it now replaced. The Coloscopy (intestine reflection) was therefore taken up to the catalog of the preventive medical examinations w.

In Japan however the stomach cancer is very frequently, there as precaution is still the gastroscopy.

For women breast cancer (in former times cervix cancer) is now on top on the frequency list (2003 died 17,173), with the men of prostata cancer (in former times lung cancer); with children leukaemia is most frequent.

But: For women under 50 years are nearly half of all cancers located at the breast and the cervix.

About 350,000 humans get cancer annually in Germanay (females : males about 1,1: 1); 250,000 diet per year.

Nevertheless participates only each second woman and each 6th man in the precaution for cancer!
