#Breast, #lung, and #colon#cancer are the most common types of cancer. They have been shown to overexpress the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (#EpCAM), a transmembrane glycoprotein. When it's overexpressed, it can transform normal cells into cancer cells.

About 30% of cancers are preventable. A healthy lifestyle, vaccinations, and screenings help. Screenings can detect the #cancer at an early stage, which often provides the best chance for survival.
It's thus important to undergo regular screenings.

Over 2,3 million women get #breastcancer annually, the most common type of #cancer in women.
If detected at an early stage, treatment can be effective, with a 90% chance of survival. Regular #screening is thus crucial, as it's the most reliable method to detect breast cancer.
