Sorry, the correct answer is

skin

Skin cancer is the most common kind of cancer in the United States. Melanoma, which accounts for just about four percent of all skin cancer, is responsible for most skin-cancer related deaths. The good news? Protecting skin from sun goes a long way in reducing the risk. Look for shade, wear a hat, and slap on a sunscreen that protects against both kinds of ultraviolet rays (UVA and UVB) and is rated SPF 15 or higher. Reapply often, and use enough—about a shot glass worth to cover hands, face, neck, ears, arms and legs.

That's right. However breast and lung cancers are more prevalent across the general population, whereas prostate cancer affects the male population and compared to breast and lung cancers the estimated death rate is much lower.

I don't think it is so important to define which cancer, it is what causes cancer,.... don't you think? People need to truly wake up to what is going on in the 'food' industry and understand that what is being pushed down your throats through advertising, and the status quo is what is killing people with cancer.

Not hard to do, have an open mind, and take the time to research how livestock is raised, to learn that our bodies do NOT require animal flesh and that we are biologically designed...

Not hard to do, have an open mind, and take the time to research how livestock is raised, to learn that our bodies do NOT require animal flesh and that we are biologically designed for a plant based diet. Eliminating meat, all dairy and eggs will make great gains in your chances of ever getting cancer. Relearning can be daunting for some, but if you truly care about your health, care about your family, care about killing any live animal or man, you will find a plant based diet to be incredibly awesome. It rocks. Go vegan. Save your quality of life, save the planet, and save the animals.
