CANCER

CANCER- cells grow too much and divide into new cells which are called cell division, which will then damage parts of the human body, which surrounds the cells.

There are very many types of cancer such as breast cancer, lung cancer, kidney cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, skin cancer, and many others. Almost every part of the body can develop its own type of cancer. There are different effects depending on what kind of cancer it is. Some cancers are not that bad at the beginning, and if you catch it at the right time, you will be able to save it from spreading to the rest of your system.

The Start or Beginning to Cancer

The start of cancer is when a part of the DNA is damaged. It will then cause a mutation, which is when there is a change or occurrence in the DNA. So therefore Cancer is caused when mutation will make an occurrence in the DNA and cause cells to then divide and damage parts of the human body, which is surrounding that cells area. As these cells grow and divide uncontrollably, they will eventually start to form something called a tumor which is a mass of abnormal cells that develops when cancerous cells grow and divide out of control.
