What is cancer?
Cancer is a disease that occurs when cells in the body grow and multiply uncontrollably, forming tumors and potentially spreading to other parts of the body
Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells.
Normally, human cells grow and multiply (through a process called cell division) to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.
Types of Cancer:-
Cancer can occur in many parts of the body, including:
Bones: Sarcomas are cancers that form in bone and soft tissues
Blood: Leukemias are cancers that begin in the bone marrow, where blood is formed
Lymphoid tissue: Lymphomas are cancers that start in lymphocytes, which are T or B cells
Plasma cells: Multiple myeloma is a cancer that starts in plasma cells, which are another type of immune cell
Epithelial tissues: Carcinomas are cancers that start in epithelial tissues, which cover the outside of the body and line the inside of organs and body cavities
