Small cell cancer is one of the scarier forms of lung cancer. There isn’t any kind of lung cancer that isn’t scary, as they are all more often terminal than not, however small cell cancer tends to be the most aggressive. Most people with small cell cancer will die in 2 to 4 months after being diagnosed.
The reason for the short post-diagnosis lifespan is that by the time small cell cancer starts to show serious symptoms, it is often already spread around the body. When the cancer has spread to areas all over the body, surgical removal is not really an option, as it can’t be expected to significantly increase life expectancy enough to justify the risks and adverse health effects.

Although there are several types of skin cancer, the most common are melanoma, basal call carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.
Although melanoma is not found as often as other skin cancers, it is one of the most well known because it causes the most deaths related to skin cancer. Melanoma is hard to treat, with the most effective option being simply removing the part of the skin that is affected. However, this has to be done early in order to be at all successful. There are approximately 160,000 new cases of melanoma each year. Approximately 48,000 people die of melanoma each year. Melanoma can be caused by exposure to the sun. This is particularly significant if a person has had a bad sunburn during childhood. White males usually get melanoma more than any other group, and people living in sunny climates are at higher risk. There is also a genetic risk factor.
