A member asked:
Could you tell me why has there been a sudden onset of various kinds of cancers on the planet ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There hasn't: I'm not sure what you mean by a sudden onset......There has been some increase in overall cases - our planets population has increased, and many people are living longer, so we see more cancers. We also are doing a better job screening....So this can incrase rates...But there hasn't been a sudden onset.
