What is Cancer?
Cancer is a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth and proliferation of abnormal cells in the body. These cells divide and multiply when they shouldn’t, often forming masses called tumors. Unlike normal cells that grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion, cancer cells continue to grow and divide, invading nearby tissues and sometimes spreading to other parts of the body through a process called metastasis.
Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. There are more than 100 different types of cancer, usually named for the organs or tissues where they form, such as lung cancer, breast cancer, or brain cancer. The disease results from genetic changes or mutations that affect how cells function, particularly their growth and division. These genetic changes can occur due to errors during cell division, damage to DNA from environmental factors like tobacco smoke or UV rays, or they can be inherited.
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. It’s not a single disease but rather a group of diseases with the common feature of abnormal cell growth. When detected early and treated appropriately, many cancers can be effectively managed, highlighting the importance of regular screenings and prompt medical attention.
