What is cancer?

Every organ in our body is made of cells. Cells are the building blocks of our body and the small but can be seen with a microscope.

Healthy body cells (except for muscle and nerve cells) are capable of divisibility. The dead cells and regeneration of injured tissues (inside and outside the body) use these skills in order to be repaired. However, this ability is limited. Indivisible and eternal. Throughout the life of each cell has a certain number of divisibility. Where you have a healthy cell to divide and knows as much as necessary.

In contrast, cancer cells, it loses consciousness, begin to divide and proliferate uncontrollably. Cancer cells accumulate in tumors (masses) form, tumors can compress normal tissue, can be infiltrated or they can destroy. If you are separated from the tumor cancer cells in which they occur, through the blood or lymph circulation can go to other parts of the body. Form tumor colonies where they go and continue to grow. Cancer spread to other parts of the body of the event is called metastasis.

Cancers that begin to form organs and are classified by their appearance under a microscope. Different types of cancers grow at different speeds, different forms show the spread and respond to different treatments. Therefore in the treatment of cancer patients, existing treatments are applied differently according to the type of cancer.
