What is the most common type of cancer

[strawberry]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping to gain some insight into the most common type of cancer. Does anyone have experience with this subject or know of any good resources? I've heard that breast cancer is the most common form, but I'd like to know more about the other types that are out there, as well as their symptoms and treatments.

Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, accounting for an estimated 1.8 million new diagnoses and 1.6 million deaths in 2018. It is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. The two main types of lung cancer are non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. The most common symptom of lung cancer is a persistent cough, but other symptoms may include shortness of breath, chest pain, and coughing up blood. Treatments for lung cancer can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy.
