Cancer

Cancer is a general term used to describe many types of malignant tumors which are clusters of abnormally growing cells.  Benign tumors grow slowly in local areas and are considered non-cancerous.  Malignant tumors grow rapidly and they invade surrounding tissues.

Cancer often appears first in the breast, colon, rectum, uterus, prostate, skin, or lungs.
