What
is Cancer?
Cancer is a disease wherein cells act abnormally,
growing and dividing beyond their usual limits and capabilities.
The spread of the aggressive cells then invade, damage and
destroy nearby tissues also known as metastasis. These are
the three main malignant properties of cancer cells
namely aggressive, invasive and quick spreading. Benign
cells do not have these properties and are considered relatively
safe although they also have the tendency to transform into
malignant ones.
Cancer may occur in every individual at every age
and has a 13% mortality rate. Animals and plants can also
be affected by the deadly disease. Most types of cancers
are due to abnormal genetic composition of the malignant
cells that can result from environmental factors or congenital
anomalies.
The Process of Cancers
Normally, cells grow and divide accordingly and they also
die at some point in life. The body is responsible for keeping
the whole division and growth process balanced. Dead and
damaged cells are automatically replaced and transformed.
In cancer, abnormal cells live longer than normal cells
and rapidly form new abnormal ones. These cancerous cells
can reach remote parts of the body and vital organs disrupting
important functions and processes.
The DNA of cells is mainly responsible for directing activities.
Normally, damaged DNA is repaired by the body. The problem
with cancer cells is that the body is not able to repair
the damage as it continues to ravage other cells and tissues.
DNA damage can be acquired by exposure to dangerous elements
in the environment or inherited. The initial part of cancer
is usually through formation of a tumor that then metastasizes
throughout the body.
