Colorectal Cancer can start in either the colon or rectum. The first stage of this cancer development involves a polyp being formed, which can become cancerous if not given proper attention.

4. Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is a common illness in Thailand and is the primary cause of death in both males and females. However, lung cancer is curable if diagnosed at the early stage.

5. Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial cancer or uterine cancer is the third most common cancer among Thai women's reproductive organs. People often confuse it with cervical cancer, which is the most common. If you see a doctor from the beginning of symptoms, this disease is usually quite curable.
