Most people have cancer in their surroundings. Let it be an aunt, a grandfather, a cousin, a friend or even a parent. Yet, many of us associate cancer with death. Despite our efforts to live a healthy life, we are aware of the fact that cancer can strike any of us at any time.

Indeed the number of people diagnosed with cancer is rising. According to the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare, the number of patients diagnosed with cancer was 101,772 in 2000. This number almost doubled to 202,053 in 2010.

The good news is that in Korea, the survival rate for various cancer types is one of the highest in the world. This is due to the latest medical technology and expertise in this field. Statistics reveal that the five-year survival rate was 64.1% between 2006 and 2010.

Young people live at greater risk of late cancer detection because they usually don't get a regular health examination like older people over fifty years of age do. specially if there's a history of cancer in your family, you should do a health examination once a year. This case applies to actress Angelina Jolie whose mother died of cancer. She carries a mutation of the BRCA1 gene and therefore had a preventive double mastectomy to decrease the risk of her developing breast cancer. In order for us to consider the same decision, we must first learn if we also carry a mutation of the BRCA gene. This can be done by a blood test.

Cancer is universal around the globe. Breast cancer in Korea doesn't differ than breast cancer in Indonesia. However,  medical technology does. Possessing the only Proton Therapy Center in Asia, Korea is among the best countries for combating cancer.
