What is Cancer? Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells anywhere in a body. The abnormal cells are termed cancer cells, malignant cells, or tumour cells. Many cancers and the abnormal cells that make up the cancer tissue are further identified by the name of the tissue that the abnormal cells originated from (for example, breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer). Cancer is not confined to humans; animals and other living organisms also get cancer. When a cell is altered without any repair to its system, the cell usually dies. However, it can also occur that when such damaged or unrepaired cells do not die they become cancer cells and proliferate with uncontrolled growth and a mass of cancer cells develop. Frequently, cancer cells can break away from the original mass of cells, travel through the blood and lymph systems, and lodge in other organs where they can again repeat the uncontrolled growth cycle. This process of cancer cells leaving an area an...
