Cancer is the fastest-spreading disease around the world that causes millions of deaths every year.
There are several types of cancer, 6 of which are considered the most life-threatening.
Cancers in the lungs, liver, brain, esophagus, pancreas and stomach are considered the most deadly.
But most people with these types of cancer learn about the disease too late because they ignore the symptoms of the disease.
A study by Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce suggests that ignoring the symptoms of life-threatening types of cancer can have devastating consequences.
In this study, 2,000 people were surveyed and found that only 1% of people were able to identify the symptoms of liver cancer, as well as 2 and 3 % of people could identify the symptoms of esophageal and stomach cancer.
Researchers said that most people are not aware of the common symptoms of cancer.
He added that early diagnosis of the disease increases the likelihood of treatment, so it is important that people know the symptoms of this disease and they can keep an eye on the changes in their body, even if the symptoms feel irrelevant, it is better to consult a doctor.
The study also talked about the symptoms that appear in people suffering from six types of cancer.
