WHAT IS CANCER?

Cancer

Cancer is not a single disease with a single cause or cure. Cancer is the result if the cells divide uncontrollably and other tissues near invade the body. Cancer spreads through the body via blood or clear fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system and carries cells that help fight infections and other diseases.

1. Carcinoma:

Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or tissues that line or cover internal organs.

2. Sarcoma:

Sarcoma is a cancer that in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective tissues begins.

3. Leukemia:

Leukemia is a cancer that starts in the blood to tissues such as the bone marrow and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells that then enter the bloodstream.

4. The Lymphoma and Myeloma:

Lymphoma and myeloma are cancers that begin in cells that make the immune system.

The body is composed of different types of cells. Cells grow and divide in a normal and controlled way to produce more cells as needed. When cells age or are damaged, they die, and then they are replaced by new cells.

When this normal process goes wrong (Genetics-DNA of a cell is damaged or modified) the body begins to produce mutations that affect the growth of normal cells. All tumors are not cancer. "Benign" means that the tumor is not cancer. Cancer tumors that are to be "malicious".
