Cancer Information
Cancer is not one disease, but rather many related diseases. Cancer is typed according to the part of the body where it is located and the kind of cells that comprise it. The most common types of cancer cells and their locations

• Carcinomas originate in skin tissue or tissues that line the body cavities and such internal organs as the lungs, breast, colon, and intestines.
• Sarcomas grow in bones and connective tissues between organs and skin, and sometimes spread into the blood or lymphatic system.
• Lymphomas are cancers of the lymphatic system, usually occurring in the lymph nodes.
• Leukemias form in the blood or circulatory system, particularly in the bone marrow, which is the site of blood cell production.
• Myelomas are tumors of bone marrow cells and frequently form simultaneously in many sites, including the ribs, vertebrae, and pelvic bones. [more]

Heart Disease
Each year heart disease kills twice as many people as cancer and eight times as many people as car accidents or infections.

According to the annual National Health and National Nutrition Examination Survey, 43 percent of all deaths recorded each year are caused by heart and other "vascular diseases" such as stroke and kidney failure.
