      Cancer

      Follow Following
      -  Followers

      Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the abnormal growth of cells that can spread to other parts of the body. It includes various types like breast, lung, prostate, colon, and skin cancer, each impacting specific tissues or organs. Cancer development can be triggered by genetic mutations, lifestyle choices (such as smoking, diet, or physical inactivity), environmental exposures, and infections. Common symptoms may include persistent fatigue, unexplained weight loss, changes in skin appearance, lumps, or prolonged pain.

      Cancer treatment often involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies, depending on the type and stage of the disease. Early detection and timely intervention can significantly improve survival rates and treatment outcomes. Efforts in cancer research, awareness campaigns, and global health initiatives continue to focus on improving early diagnosis, developing innovative therapies, and enhancing patient support systems.

      Cancer is frequently the subject of misinformation, with viral claims often exaggerating the effectiveness of unverified treatments or suggesting miracle cures. This misinformation can be dangerous, diverting patients from scientifically supported treatments.

      In August 2019, BOOM fact-checked a viral message claiming that drinking hot coconut water could kill cancer cells, falsely attributed to a renowned oncologist.

      BOOM found that the claim was baseless and lacked scientific evidence, emphasizing the need for accurate medical information and professional guidance when dealing with serious health conditions.
