Cancer or malignant neoplasm is a malady that is feared most by people, for a person suffering from cancer is considered always to live under the shadow of death. The disease is characterized by uncontrollable growth, division, and multiplication of diseased cells, thereby forming lumps or tumors. This explosive cell growth starts interfering with the proper functioning of the various systems of the human body like digestive, circulatory, nervous etc. While multiplying, the cells produce unwanted hormones that bar the normal functioning of body.
Under chronic conditions, the diseased cells travel through out the body by means of the blood or lymph, and invade and destroy all healthy tissues. Also new blood vessels may be formed by the cancerous tumor. They stick out from the different sides of the tumor, and help cell growth by feeding on the patient's body. The process is called angiogenesis. Such stages are quite impossible to manage through medicines or arrest through other clinical measures. Under such serious conditions, the patient's body goes through a process called metastasis. Healthy cells follow a definite course of growth, division and death. When cancer strikes a body, this order or course is broken down.
Cancer can attack people of all ages, but the risk rises with aging. Cancer can be of numerous types, and its classification depends on the nature or type of the affected cell. Genetic causes, chewing of tobacco, exposure to harmful chemicals or radiations accelerate the risk of being attacked by cancer. Tumors that show limited growth are not that dangerous, and are said to be benign.
