  What is Cancer? Cancer is defined as a cancerous tumour that has spread throughout the body. Cancer is a condition in which some of the body's cells develop uncontrolled and spread to other areas of the body. It is the most common kind of cancer. In the human body, which is composed of billions of cells, cancer may begin virtually anywhere in the body. Ordinarily, human cells develop and multiply (via a process known as cell division) in order to produce new cells when the body requires them. Cells die when they get too old or damaged to function properly, and new cells replace them. In certain cases, this well-ordered mechanism is disrupted, resulting in aberrant or damaged cells growing and multiplying when they shouldn't. Tumors, which are masses of tissue, may develop from these cells. Tumors may be malignant or non-cancerous depending on their origin (benign). Tumors that have progressed into or invaded surrounding tissues have the potential to move to distant

 Cancer is the uncontrolled development of abnormal cells anyplace in a body. There are approximately 200 kinds of cancer. Anything that may cause a normal body cell to grow abnormally possibly may cause cancer; broad categories of cancer-related or causative factors are as follows: chemical or toxic substance exposures, ionizing radiation, certain infections, and human genetics. Cancer symptoms and signs vary on the particular kind and grade of cancer; while general signs and symptoms are not highly specific the following may be observed in individuals with various cancers: tiredness, weight loss, discomfort, skin changes, change in bowel or bladder function, unusual bleeding, persistent cough or voice change, fever, lumps, or tissue tumors. Although there are numerous techniques to screen and presumptively detect cancer, the definitive diagnosis is established by evaluation of a biopsy sample of probable cancer tissue. Cancer staging is typically established by biopsy findings and he
