What Is Cancer?

Definition of Cancer: 

The disease cause by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body; abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue

     Cancer is a disease in which the cells of our body grow and 

divide at swift rates and destroy the living and existing body 

tissue inside of us. There are many different types and forms 

of cancer. Cancer can grow anywhere from our cerebellum in 

the brain to the tibia bone in our calves. Cancer has two forms: 

genetic and non-genetic. Only a small percentage of cancers 

are inherited genetically. These cancers are caused by a defect 

in the genes such as genes BRAC1 or BRAC2. There are also 

certain cancers that get triggered because of certain genes that 

we are born with such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, 

colorectal cancer and prostate cancer.
