CANCER
RISK
Cancer is a disease of the body's cells.
Normally cells grow and multiply in a
controlled way, however, sometimes cells
become abnormal and keep growing.
Abnormal cells can form a mass called a
tumour.
Cancer is a leading cause of death in
Australia.
One in two Australian men and women
will be diagnosed with cancer by the age
of 85.
Globally, cancer is a leading cause of
death, accounting for nearly 10 million
deaths each year, or nearly one in six
deaths.
