Cancer is defined as turbulent growth of some of the body's cells; so that they have the ability to grow in uncontrollable, and can sometimes be spread elsewhere. Cancer is not a single disease; it is a group of more than 100 different and separate disease.
Cancer can affect the different tissues of the body, whatever its shape may vary depending on the affected area. Most cancers are called by cell type or by the organ in which they originate, so if a cancer is spread, the secondary tumor (in the area where it is spread) Primary tumor name.
The incidence of cancer is probably dependent on sex. Skin cancer is the most common type of malignant cancer in both sexes. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, and breast cancer in women. However, incidence is not considered a measure of the seriousness of cancer. Skin cancer is treatable Typically, lung cancer is the leading cause of death for both sexes in the United States. Benign tumors are not cancerous but malignant, and cancer is not contagious.
