Who Can Get This Cancer?
Just about anyone at any given second. Like right now you might have a brain tumor and might not know it before it's too late, just like other cancers. Brain cancer mostly affects two different age groups: children below age 15 and adults over 65. Brain cancer is 5% due to hereditary factors. Brain cancer is increasing, but only because people are living longer. Currently, scientists do not know how to prevent brain cancer.

I had no idea that young people could get it, and I didn't know brain cancer is increasing because people are starting to live longer. This is a very nice job.
ReplyDeleteI like that you have this specific section about the ages who can get it because it shows people that not only older people get cancer, which is sometimes the stereotype about cancer. Your post says that children can have it and also elderly people, its such a great range. Great information :)
