Misconceptions About Cancer
Many individuals harbor significant misconceptions about cancer, primarily viewing it as a genetic disease. While genetics are a factor, they play a minor role in cancer development, and lifestyle choices have a far more significant impact. Additionally, many people mistakenly believe cancer appears suddenly, when in reality, it often develops over a span of eight to ten years. This misunderstanding can lead to fear and a lack of proactive research into their diagnosis, as individuals often hesitate to question their healthcare provider about the origins and implications of their condition.
