Despite major advances in cancer treatment and declining mortality rates, fear of cancer remains stubbornly high. This "cancerphobia" is driven by our increased openness about the disease, fueled by prominent cases in the media. The disease is still widely seen as a "vicious, unpredictable, and indestructible enemy," evoking deep-seated fears about pain, suffering, and dying. This fear often leads to unnecessary procedures and treatments. Cancer is no longer the death sentence it once was.
