Cancer
Cancer, also known as a
malignant tumor or
malignant neoplasm, is a group of diseases involving abnormal
cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Not all tumors are cancerous;
benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body. Possible
signs and symptoms include: a new lump, abnormal bleeding, a prolonged cough, unexplained
weight loss, and a change in
bowel movements among others. While these symptoms may indicate cancer, they may also occur due to other issues. There are over 100 different known cancers that affect humans.
