  1. That depends on how aggressive they are. The worst to deal with are the brain cancers, esp. glioblastomas. Some brain cancers if small can be operated on but the gioblastomas are like spiders, wrapping around the brain and even if operated on they come back. Pancreatic usually only last 3-6 mos.if that. Lung, breast, colon, uterine all depend on how large they are. Bone are the worse as far as pain which sometimes can’t even be controlled with super high doses of morphine that would kill a horse.With stomach & liver you get horrible nausea & vomiting.When your dealing with the cancers of the face & neck, they’re horrible to see every day, and you can imagine how horrible it is for a patient to look at their face in a mirror as the cancer progresses. Ovarian however is one of the most dangerous since it gives no symptoms until it’s too late with maybe a little “bloating”. The skin cancers are usually not as deadly but there’s always the exception.I think whenever a cancer has metastasis after it, that is the big one, for once it spreads, the prognosis is poor and usually fatal.

  2. I would say lung cancer is the worst of the worst. Once you get it, it’s stalling. All cancers are deadly except a few depending on your age and whether or not your bodies own immune system can destroy it(if you go untreated).
    The least fatal is basal cell carcinoma(skin), in which metastatic doesn’t occur. Actually it may but it’s very rare.

  3. The worst usually Pancreatic Cancer. The Best, or one of the most liveable Cancer is Hodgkins Lymphoma. Although it does depend on the individual and if the cancer spreads or is contained. You always hear of the worst case scenario’s, but many do live with even the worst forms of this disease, but rarely do we hear about them in the media.

  4. Pancreatic cancer, metasticized malignant melanoma, and osteosarcoma are among your deadliest.
    And a mole or a wart are technically low forms of cancer.

  5. skin cancer because it travel through your body
    cervical cancer
    brest cancer is something that it eat your hair up
    I would say that all cancer is bad because it do damage to the body.

  6. Well obviously Cervical cancer is serious
    tbh they all are, it depends on the time you catch them.
