History of Cancer
Cancer cells are abnormal that divide uncontrollably even
when new cells are not needed, thus producing a tumor.
The place where a cancer starts is called the primary
cancer. A malignant tumor is one that can invade and
damage nearby tissues and organs. A benign tumor will not
spread to other parts of the body and is not cancer. In this
presentation, breast, colon, and lung cancer will be
explained.
