In business or government, treating the wrong or a merely derivative problem by strictly cosmetic means, as in offering a cancer patient a wig to conceal hair loss suffered as a result of chemotherapy; cosmetic solutions to unintended consequences of another action or lack of action; improving the appearance but not the solution of a root cause problem; treating effects, but not causes, for sake of appearance.
State governments that propose driver's licenses or guest worker programs for illegal immigrants are doing nothing more than cancer wigging. The Federal Government is cancer wigging when it mails out stimulus checks as the economy crumbles.

Diagnosis - the name of a cancer usually comes from the organ from which the original malignant tumour stemmed from. (e.g skin cancer). This classification can be further divided into the specific tissue. (basal cell carcinoma, melanoma)

Prevention - A man whose father and grandfather had prostate cancer may decide to have his prostate removed after he has had children to prevent prostate cancer later on.

Treatment: Once cancer has taken hold, there are many treatments to reduce symptoms and destroy existing tumours. These include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
