What is Cancer

All cancers begin in cells, the body's basic unit of life.

 Our bodies are made up of millions of cells, grouped together to form tissues and organs such as muscles and bones, the lungs and the liver. The cells inside these organs carry out specific functions such as transport of oxygen,digestion of nutrients excretion of waste material and so on.

These cells grow and divide in a controlled way to produce more cells as they are needed to keep the body healthy.

Normal cells have a genetic code of conduct which dictates when they divide, grow, maintain, or perform special jobs. In normal healthy adult organs, When cells become old or damaged, they die and are replaced with an equal number of new cells every day. Due to the interference of Free radicals which coursing through the blood vessel wall and the normal cells loose their code of conduct and this imbalance eventually leads to an overgrowth of a mass of abnormal cells. As a result cancer begins to form

Cancer cells accumulate and compete for nutrients, space, and territory with normal healthy cells.Cause damage in the body.
