"What is cancer? Human body consists of numerous kinds of cells. Usually, cells grow, break in two and then decease. But at times, cells become modified and start to develop and break into two faster than normal cells. Instead of dying, these extraordinary cells join together which results in the formation of tumors. If these tumors hold cancer, they can assault and damage your body's other healthy tissues. Due to these cancerous tumors, cancer cells can expand which results in the formation of new tumors in other parts of the body.
