1. Lungs - lungs are most vulnerable
Lung cancer tops the list, men or women. Why are lungs so fragile? "From current carcinogenic analysis, there are two main causes, the first one is smoking. Statistics show 30% of cancerous tumor cases associated with long-term smoking, are mostly lung cancer. Furthermore, the pulmonary absorption of carcinogens can harm to the whole body, thereby induce laryngeal, esophageal, oral, bladder, kidney, pancreatic cancer and the like. The second is the air pollution. The data show that air pollution is one of the reasons that induce lung cancer. The chairman of Chinese Medical Association (ÄÁ«n¤s) suggested that air pollution hurts our lungs as much as smoking.

2. Stomach - the most easily to overlook
Gastric cancer is the world's fourth most common cancer, and two out of three cases are in men. Apart from salt, salted food, red pepper, processed meats, smoked food, barbecue and other animal meats, the gastric mucosa and atrophic gastritis change can also lead to gastric cancer. In addition, "sharing meals" can also increase the risk of getting Helicobacter pylori infection. Hence, there have been rumors that gastric cancer is contagious.
