what kind of cancer is silent but deadly?

Q: can someone please help me my cousin is in the hospital and they say he has cancer and tumars through out his body what kind of cancer that has no cure they just found out 2 weeks ago that he had this some one help me

A: Any type of cancer. Cancer is a progressive disease which means when it starts it is very tiny and than grows. Unless the cancer inteferes with the body or presses on a nerve, it will grow unnoticed sometimes for many weeks or months until it is advanced. When a tumor is advanced it will ‘metastasize’ and send out hundreds of microscopic cancer cells into the blood stream or lymphatic system. This is called stage IV cancer. Those tiny cells can than grow brand new tumors in a different location . . and start the whole process all over again. (think of weeds multiplying). Advanced cancer or stage IV cancer is more difficult to treat, but not impossible. It will take the right doctor, the right medical facility, the patients overall health and age, response to treatment, courage, a great deal of research, and some amount of luck to treat advanced cancer successfully. It can be done. Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with stage IV cancer that had metastasized to the brain and lung . . and that was ten years ago. He is now cancer free. So, even though things may seem grim and bleak at first . . do not give up hope.Incidentally, there is no cure for any type of cancer . . but there is treatment that can lead to long term remission and ‘cure’. The first thing you should do for your cousin is research his disease and find out all the information that you can:American Cancer societyhttp://www.cancer.org/docroot/home/index.aspNational Cancer Instituehttp://www.cancer.govMedline Plus: Cancerhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cancer.htmlPeople Living with Cancerhttp://www.plwc.org/portal/site/PLWCNational Comprehensive Cancer Networkhttp://www.nccn.org/Livestronghttp://www.livestrong.org

What are the most and least deadly types of cancer?

Q: I know all cancer is very dangerous, but what kinds are the most fatal and what kinds are the least?

A: That depends on how aggressive they are. The worst to deal with are the brain cancers, esp. glioblastomas. Some brain cancers if small can be operated on but the gioblastomas are like spiders, wrapping around the brain and even if operated on they come back. Pancreatic usually only last 3-6 mos.if that. Lung, breast, colon, uterine all depend on how large they are. Bone are the worse as far as pain which sometimes can’t even be controlled with super high doses of morphine that would kill a horse.With stomach & liver you get horrible nausea & vomiting.When your dealing with the cancers of the face & neck, they’re horrible to see every day, and you can imagine how horrible it is for a patient to look at their face in a mirror as the cancer progresses. Ovarian however is one of the most dangerous since it gives no symptoms until it’s too late with maybe a little “bloating”. The skin cancers are usually not as deadly but there’s always the exception.I think whenever a cancer has metastasis after it, that is the big one, for once it spreads, the prognosis is poor and usually fatal.
