What is Cancer?
Cancer occurs when cells in the body begin to grow uncontrollably, forming tumors that can invade and damage healthy tissues. These cancerous cells can spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, a process known as metastasis. There are many types of cancer, each affecting different organs or tissues.
Treatment for cancer may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted drug therapies, depending on the type and stage of cancer. Early detection and treatment are critical for improving outcomes.
