 Cancer is a complicated disease. Each type of cancer is a little different, and so is each individual tumor. Here's a big-picture look:
The good news is that the majority of cancers -- up to 70 percent -- are preventable. Eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding cigarette smoke, UV rays, and other cancer-causing agents can improve your odds.
 While there are many ways to treat cancer, there's no guarantee of success. That's why most treatment plans use two or more treatment methods. 
A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming and life-changing. Cancer treatments are hard on your body and even if you beat the odds, you'll never quite shake the thought that the cancer could return.
