| | For example, lung cancer can cause coughing, shortness of breath, or chest pain, while colon cancer often causes diarrhea, constipation, and blood in the stool. | | | This is often the case with skin cancers. | | | If the cancer is confined to one location and has not spread, the goal for treatment would be surgery and cure. |

| | Studies that seemed to show a correlation had not been corrected for age; penile cancer is a disease of old men, and the old men with cancer in the studies had simply been born at a time when circumcision was less customary than when the younger men without cancer were born. | | | The consensus among studies that have taken these other factors into account is that circumcision is not of value in preventing cancer of the penis. | | | But the damage was done, and cervical cancer in partners entered the mythology as yet another "reason" to circumcise babies. |

| | Cancer (constellation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Cancer is also the exaltation of Jupiter, and the traditional astrology claims it is the triplicity of Mars, one of the three lesser dignities which the modern astrology does not recognize. | | | In the symbolism of alchemy, Cancer is related to the process of dissolution, i.e., a process by which a substance is dissolved in a liquid like an acid. | | | Since Cancer is the opposite sign of Capricorn, which is the domicile of Saturn and the exaltation of Mars, Saturn naturally becomes detriment in Cancer, and Mars, although has the dignity of triplicity, becomes fall. |
