What is Cancer?

Many people have asked me this question before? What exactly is cancer, and are we finding a treatment for it soon?

Cancer basically occurs when a group of cells in your body misfunction and fails to stop dividing, becoming uncontrollable. These cancer cells forms a clump of cells, which can affect the normal healthy ones around them. This damages bodily function depending on where the cancer cells are located.

As the cancer develops, it can grow and break through into the blood stream, and these cells gets distributed around the body (Metastasis). This becomes serious because now they can affect different parts of the body.
