Cancer – the most dreaded disease can now be prevented and treated in transhumanistic ways

Sometimes, when loved persons die, we tend to accuse that doctors didn’t know to diagnose them correctly saying they died because of cancer. But are those accusations true or cancer is for real the most dreaded disease today? It looks like millions of people die annually because of this horrible disease so that cancer is a leading cause of worldwide mortality. Statistics from World Health Organization show that in 2004 about 7.4 million people died of cancer, representing 13% of the deaths, as follows: 1.3 million lung cancer, 800000 of stomach cancer, 640000 colon cancer. In 2007, according to a report from the American Cancer Society, this value increased to about 7.6 million deaths of various cancers. It is estimated that in 2030 11.5 million people will die of cancer.

An example of a benign tumor is the uterine fibroids.
