Cancer is the common name for over so many medical conditions, which involves uncontrolled and dangerous cell growth.

Types of Cancer: Lung Cancer, Thyroid Cancer, Bladder Cancer, Hodgkin's disease, Bone Cancer, Bone Marrow Cancer, Brain Cancer, Gallbladder Cancer, Colon Cancer, Dysplasia, Childhood Cancers, Lymphomas, Liver Cancer, Kidney Cancer, Leukemia, Hurthle Cell Carcinoma, Gastrointestinal Cancer, Esophagus Cancer, Throat Cancer, Eye Cancer, Ureteral Cancer, Stomach Cancer, Sarcomas Renal Carcinoma, Pancreas Cancer, Rectal Cancer

Cancer is the class of diseases. It has characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue (invasion) or by implantation into distant sites (metastasis). Scientists suggest that some cancer is caused by genetic factors, while other forms are caused by environmental conditions. Because cancer begins at the microscopic cellular level, the first signs of a malignant (actively cancerous) growth are nearly impossible to detect without special tests and training.

Curing cancer has been a major goal of medical researchers for decades, but development of new treatments takes time. Already there are many forms of cancer, which are no longer considered untreatable. Some cancer can actually stop growing as suddenly as they started. This is called remission, and is often seen as a tremendous blessing for patients who have fought their conditions for years. Science may yet find the root causes of all cancers and develop safer methods for shutting them down before they have a chance to grow or spread.
