Cancer is a disease in which some of the body\u2019s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body.<\/p>\n

Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and multiply (through a process called\u00a0cell<\/a>\u00a0division) to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.<\/p>\n

\"Signs<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cancerous tumors spread into, or invade, nearby tissues and can travel to distant places in the body to form new tumors (a process called\u00a0metastasis<\/a>). Cancerous tumors may also be called\u00a0malignant<\/a>\u00a0tumors. Many cancers form solid tumors, but cancers of the blood, such as\u00a0leukemias<\/a>, generally do not.<\/p>\n

Benign tumors do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues. When removed, benign tumors usually don\u2019t grow back, whereas cancerous tumors sometimes do. Benign tumors can sometimes be quite large, however. Some can cause serious symptoms or be life threatening, such as benign tumors in the brain.<\/p>\n
