Cancer, per poll Two-thirds of U.K. adults are very or somewhat worried about potentially having cancer, which is more of a concern than other medical conditions including dementia and having a heart attack, according to a poll of 2,000 U.K. adults released over the weekend from the University of Cambridge. When asked why, respondents cited fears about getting diagnosed too late for treatment or not having access to it, the effect on their family, and treatment side effects. The results remind me of a First Opinion that STAT published this spring titled, “Cancer is a killer. So is the fear of it.” The author, David Ropeik, cited one study that found people who screened positive for lung cancer delayed going back to the doctor for treatment. Another U.K. survey Ropeik referenced found, upon noticing a change in health that could be a sign of cancer, a quarter of people said they would just wait to see if the symptoms went away on their own.
