Cancer Cell

Cancer cells are abnormal cells that grow and divide uncontrollably, unlike normal cells that follow orderly processes for growth and death. This uncontrolled growth can form tumors, which can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, a process known as metastasis. Cancer can arise from genetic mutations caused by various factors, including environmental influences, lifestyle choices, or inherited traits. Understanding cancer helps in developing treatments and preventive strategies to combat this complex group of diseases.
