Put your cancer knowledge to the test

Cancer's the type of disease that unless it affects your life somehow, chances are you probably don't know much about it. It ventures into the territory of the unknown -- and it's a scary concept that many feel is best left there. But lots of people are quite knowledgeable about cancer -- many because they had to learn the hard way by experiencing its devastating effect on themselves or a family member.

Here's how to find out where you fit between the two: Take this quiz to see if you're in the 'know' about cancer. Cancer is scary, but the first defense is arming yourself with information.

BBC quiz show host Magnus Magnusson dies of cancer

Magnus Magnusson, former host of the BBC quiz show Mastermind, died just days ago after a four-month battle with pancreatic cancer. He died peacefully at his Glasgow home at the age of 77.

Magnusson, a journalist, author, and presenter, is best known for his 25 years of work on Mastermind, a show he called an "undemanding program for insomniac academics late at night." His presence defined the program, a prime time BBC show watched by more than 22 million viewers, from 1972 until 1997.

"Magnus Magnusson was one of the defining faces and voices of the BBC," said Mark Thompson, the director general of the BBC. "To the contestants of Mastermind, he was a tough but always fair question-master, but behind this screen persona there was a family man of tremendous warmth and humanity."

Magnusson, who focused on his writing career after Mastermind ratings began to slump and a new host took his place, first became ill in 2004 when he was hospitalized for emergency abdominal surgery. He recovered from this episode but was diagnosed with cancer last October, on his 77th birthday.

Magnusson, who coined the quiz show phrase, "I've started, so I'll finish," is survived by his wife of 52 years and his four children.
