I know advanced cancer cant be treated and it takes down the patient in around a year .Can it be diagnosed through an x ray or a ct scan.Is there a healthy lifestyle to prevent all type of cancer.How much time does it take cancer to teach an advanced stage.How many years of eating spicy food can give a cancer?
Brief Answer:
Take lots of fruits and vegetables. Avoid alcohol and smoke
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back
It can be diagnosed early by endoscopy and Ct scan
Take lots of fruits and vegetables which are rich in antioxidants. Avoid alcohol and smoke. Do regular exercise.
No where the duration is mentioned as it is difficult to specify as it depends on the behaviour and morphology of cancer also.
Again it is difficult to specify the duration of intake of spices and similarly the quantity also
