Cancer was always there. It’s just that we are detecting more and more cancer at an early stage with the advancement in diagnostic procedures. Screening programs are underway which helps detect cancer at early curable stage. Also there is increased awareness about cancer in general population. As for as Google is concerned, cancer is a great masquerader that’s why any symptom could be a harbinger of cancer. But Google is not the an ideal platform to look for medical help. It’s better to consult an expert and allay your worries.
