Key Features of Cancer:
Uncontrolled Cell Growth: Cells divide uncontrollably, leading to abnormal tissue growth.
Invasion: Cancerous cells can invade surrounding tissues and organs.
Metastasis: Cancer cells can spread through the blood or lymphatic system to other parts of the body, forming secondary tumors.
What is cancer ?Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled division and growth of abnormal cells in the body. Normally, cells grow, divide, and die in a regulated way. However, in cancer, this process is disrupted, leading to the formation of tumors (in most cases), and in some instances, the spread of abnormal cells to other parts of the body (metastasis). Cancer can occur in almost any part of the body.
