Understanding Cancer
Many types of diseases are categorized as cancer. Although each type affects
the body differently, they share common characteristics. While most causes
of cancer aren’t well understood, cancer begins when damaged cells
multiply out of control.
Often, these cells will form a tumor, or a mass of tissue. These cells
and tumors start to see normal cells as a threat and begin to invade nearby
or distant parts of the body. They replace healthy cells with cancerous ones.
To treat cancer, the goal is to destroy cancer cells and stop the spread
of disease throughout the body.
