Why should we be concerned with seeking a better understanding of cancer?

Explanation: Not everyone has a clear understanding of cancer some stay away from people with cancer while others have pity and feel bad for people diagnosed with such a horrible thing. We often don't hear of people that have been diagnosed with such a thing and when we do we either one don't believe it really has an effect on people or two we think there is no solution because as we hear "cancer is not curable". There is a general belief that childhood cancer has a "low impact on society, and on childhood deaths, because it is rare" but that is so not true. Most childhood cancer is curable, but delayed diagnosis significantly reduces a child's chance of survival. we need to be more concerned with seeking a better understanding for all the right reasons just look at the most leading caused deaths and you will see that cancer has a huge impact on this in children as well as adults. Stay alert and be part of the solution not by avoiding it but by learning about it learning the effects and impact it has on peoples life.
