Cancer is a disease where some cells in the body start to grow uncontrollably. Normally, cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly way, but in cancer, this process goes wrong. These uncontrolled cells can form lumps or tumors and may spread to other parts of the body. Cancer can affect almost any part of the body and can cause various symptoms, depending on where it occurs. Early detection and treatment can help manage the disease and improve outcomes.
