About cancer

Cancer happens when cells in the body grow out of control. It can start almost anywhere in the body and sometimes spreads to other areas. There are many types of cancer, and each one can affect people differently. Some grow slowly and are easier to treat, while others grow quickly and may be more serious. Finding cancer early and getting the right treatment can improve the chances of recovery.
