According to Cancer Research UK, the most common cancers in the UK are:
- breast
- lung
- bowel (colorectal)
- prostate
Within certain age groups, some cancers are more common than others.
For example testicular cancer is not very common – but in men aged 20-40 it is the most common cancer.
Cancer in children is rare… it affects only 1 in 500 children under the age of 15. Children tend to get different types of cancer, hardly seen in adults - the most common children’s cancers are leukaemia and brain tumours.
