#1 Killer on U.S Hispanics AKA Cancer! By Rylie Walker


Cancer is the #1 killer in America. It kills lives every second of every day. Cancer has became the leading cause of death among Hispanics in the United States. Hispanics are the fastest growing demographic group in the United States. About 110,000 people of Hispanic ethnicity will be diagnosed with cancer and about 30,000 will die of cancer in 2012. One in 10 Hispanics are age 55 or over, compared to one in 3 non-Hispanics. You should always wear sunscreen and keep out of direct sunlight. Cancer is a very serious thing in this world and people should take it more serious. Not just Hispanics get cancer though, Whites And African-Americans, Heart disease remains the leading cause of death so Stay Safe and Always keep clear about what can just scream the name CANCER!

    I think it depends on the type of cancer. Fair-skinned people are more prone to skin cancer, blacks are more prone to breast cancer (due to vitamin D deficiency) and it goes on. Whether or not one race is more prone to a certain cancer is not certain.
