As if the very disease cancer was not scary enough, there is another serious fact which says that there are a few types of cancers that do not show any symptoms initially, making it difficult to detect and treat the disease.

Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that affects the prostate glands in men and they are becoming rather common lately, especially among men above the age of 50. Prostate cancer can be deadly because it shows no signs, until it has reached the bones, causing a lot of complications. So, men must keep a close check on their health to detect the symptoms early.

2. Colon Cancer

Also, some of the initial symptoms of colon cancer include stomach pain, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, etc., which may be ignored by the victim, thinking that it is not something serious!

3. Testicular Cancer

As a type of cancer that affects the testes, or the genital organs of a man, testicular cancer can also prove to be a silent killer, as it hardly shows any signs or symptoms initially. Although testicular cancer is curable when detected in the early stages, if not detected, it can reach the other organs of the body, leading to fatal consequences.
