Australian cancer
Australian cancer refers to various types of cancer diagnosed within Australia, a country with high incidence rates for some cancers like melanoma, partly due to high sun exposure. Cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably, potentially invading nearby tissues or spreading through the body. Factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and environmental exposure influence risk. Common types include skin, lung, breast, and prostate cancer. Australia emphasizes early detection, prevention, and treatment through screening programs and healthcare services. Understanding risk factors and adopting healthy habits can help reduce individual and community cancer burden.
