Cancer

The term "cancer" is broad. It explains the illness that develops as a result of unchecked cell growth and division brought on by cellular alterations. While certain cancer types cause cells to grow and divide more slowly than others, some cancer types promote fast cell growth. Tumours, which are visible growths, are the last stage of several cancers. The majority of cells in the body have definite roles and fixed lifespans. Apoptosis is a healthy and normal process that includes cell death. A cell is given the go-ahead to pass away so that the body can swap it out for a more advanced cell. Cancerous cells are deficient in the elements that tell healthy cells to stop proliferating and to die.

They consequently accumulate within the body, utilising the oxygen and nutrients.
