What is Cancer?

Cancer is a complex group of over 100 different types of cancer. Cancer can affect just about every organ in the human body.
How Does Cancer Develop?

The organs in our body are made up of cells. Cells divide and multiply as the body needs them. When these cells continue multiplying when the body doesn't need them, the result is a mass or growth, also called a tumor.These growths are consider either benign or malignant. Benign is considered non-cancerous and malignant is cancerous.Benign tumors rarely are life threatening and do not spread to other parts of the body. They can often be removed.
