Cancer Types (e.g., Breast Cancer, Lung Cancer)

Cancer is a disease where abnormal cells grow uncontrollably. Different types are named after the organ or type of cell where they start. For example, breast cancer originates in breast tissues, while lung cancer begins in the lungs, often linked to smoking. Other types include prostate cancer, affecting the prostate gland in men, and colorectal cancer, which starts in the colon or rectum. Each type has unique characteristics and treatment options. Early detection and understanding risk factors are crucial for better outcomes in managing and treating cancer.
