Coronary heart disease ** If all forms of cancer were cured I believe coronary heart disease would replace it as the most dangerous disease to humans

Coronary heart disease is a chronic (or long-term) condition that affects many people (334,500 Australians in 2006*). Coronary heart disease is the most common cause of death in Australia. It is also a major cause of disability, with many people reporting problems or needing assistance with daily activities.

If you have coronary heart disease, the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients to your heart muscle are clogged and narrowed. If these vessels (the coronary arteries) become too clogged, the blood supply to your heart muscle is reduced, which can lead to symptoms such as angina. If a blood clot forms in the narrowed artery and completely blocks the blood supply to part of your heart, it can cause life-threatening heart attack.

I believe that it would replace cancer because according to statistics Coronary heart disease kills more Australians than any other single disease: 22,983 deaths in 2006. This was 17% of all deaths. Older people get coronary heart disease much more commonly: 7.5% of Australians aged 55-64 years have coronary heart disease increasing to 20.3% for those aged 75 years or over.

I also think coronary heart disease will replace cancer due to the high amount of deaths each year caused by coronary heart disease. **

In conclusion I strongly believe that if all cases of cancer were cured coronary heart disease would replace cancer as the most dangerous disease to all humans.

**BRAIN TUMOR** Parts of the human brain Cerebellum- The cerebellum is a major structure of the hindbrain that is located near the brainstem. This part of the brain is responsible for a number of functions including motor skills such as balance, coordination, and posture as well as eye movement.
 * Spinal stem- ** The spinal stem also known as the brain stem is connected to the spinal cord. The brain stem is small but important it manages messages going between the brain and the rest of the body.
 * Medulla oblongata- ** The medulla oblongata is the lowest part of the brain stem. It looks like a swelling at the tip of the spinal cord. Besides forming the major pathway for nerve impulses entering and leaving the skull, the medulla oblongata regulates the reflex responses that control breathing, heartbeat and blood pressure.
 * Temporal lobe- ** The temporal lobe is located in the central portion of the cerebrum. The temporal lobe is responsible of things in the body such as smell, emotion, long-term memory, conditions and patient H.M.
 * Frontal lobe- ** The frontal lobes are the largest lobes in the brain. The frontal lobe is responsible of creativity logic, intuition, problem solving, synthesis of ideas, concepts of time and planning.
 * Occipital lobe- ** Located at the back of the brain, the occipital lobes are responsible for visual perception. If the occipital lobe is damaged it is mostly likely you will lose your visual capability.

**WHAT IS A BRAIN TUMOR? ** A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in your brain. There are many different types of brain tumors that exist. Some brain tumors are noncancerous (benign), and some brain tumors are cancerous (malignant).  **TREATMENT **  v Brain tumor treatment options depend on the type of brain tumor you have but also depend on the size of your brain tumor. **RISK FACTORS**  **v** Though doctors aren't sure what causes the genetic mutations that can lead to primary brain tumors, they have found factors that may increase your risk of a brain tumors. **YOU’RE AGE**- your risk of brain tumors increase at an older age. **EXPOSURE TO RADIATION-** People who have been exposed to a type of radiation called ionizing radiation have an increased risk of brain tumor. **CAUSES-** Radiation poisoning, Oil refining, Rubber manufacturing and cigarette smoking.
 * CHEMICAL EXPOSURE ON A JOB- ** People working in certain industries may have an increased risk of brain tumors, possibly because of the chemicals they've exposed to on the job.
 * FAMILY HISTORY OF BRAIN TUMORS <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">- ** A small portion of brain tumors occur in people with a family history of brain tumors.
