Ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, and hepatitis are insidious. These diseases show little of no specific symptoms, and they cause tens of thousands of death every year.

Hepatitis

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, and it’s the number one cause of liver cancer.The liver is a major detoxifying organ – it creates proteins, stores energy and removes poisons. Hepatitis may be caused by viruses, alcohol, obesity, drug overdoses and even over-the-counter acetaminophen.

Uterine Cancer

Uterine cancer is the top cancer of the reproductive system. The National Cancer Institute estimated that there were 42,000 cases of the disease in 2009 — and more than 7,700 deaths.

Ovarian Cancer

This cancer had the worst survival rate when he was training. Women diagnosed in the earliest stages of ovarian cancer have a 5-year survival rate of 93 percent, according to the American Cancer Society.

Still, only about 20 percent of ovarian cancers are found before tumor growth has spread beyond the ovaries
