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.

Get the Cancer Rollmug. A large green monster treading in the swampy waters on the outskirts of a land Far Far Away... Complains to others about things he is not doing as well. Coerces others into playing with him, when they don't want to and wonders why they resemble but a pile of salt.

2. A collective term for a range of conditions involving genetic mutations in cell division genes, resulting in an abnormal mass of tissue (called a tumour) that can split off (metastasise) and roam to other parts of the body and interfere with crucial body functions, resulting in declining health and if left untreated, eventual death.
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)
Prognosis - As well as a diagnosis, cancers also have stages of progression, which indicate how much it has grown and spread, and therefore ones chances of survival.
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.
Screening and blood tests are also ideal ways to identify cancer before they grow and induce symptoms.
Treatment: Once cancer has taken hold, there are many treatments to reduce symptoms and destroy existing tumours. These include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

1. “What star sign are you? I’m a cancer!”
2. After a biopsy, we can confirm that you have an early-stage melanoma growing on your back. We can remove the tumour via surgery, however we may require some rounds of chemotherapy to ensure the cancer hasn’t spread”
