Morris, Minnesota 56267 MORRIS S UN T RIBUNE Page 13 - Saturday, October 20, 2012 The risk of developing pancreatic cancer before the age of 40 is low, but it substan- tially increases with age, with most patients being diagnosed in their 60s to 80s. When malignant tumors arise in the brain, they cause brain cancer. Cancerous brain tumors are life threatening because they have a highly aggressive and invasive nature. Brain cancer is the leading cause of can- cer-related death in patients younger than age 35. Multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells, is an incurable but treatable disease that affects approxi- mately 50,000 Americans. Help spread awareness in your community by educating your neighbors and friends on the signs and symp- toms of breast can- cer, and encourage the women you know to get regular mam- mograms. Cancer that begins in the liver is called primary liver can- cer. In the United States, this type of cancer is uncommon. However, it is common for can- cer to spread to the liver from the colon, lungs, breasts, or other parts of the body. The can- cer in the liver is a secondary cancer.
