Cancer & All about treatment
Cancer is a group of diseases that begins with DNA damage in cells and results in uncontrolled cell proliferation. Abnormal cells form tumors, can spread to neighboring tissues, and metastasize to distant organs, disrupting the body's normal functioning and causing serious health problems. Causes include genetic factors, tobacco use, alcohol, unhealthy diet, obesity, and infections. Symptoms can include unexplained weight loss, chronic fatigue, hard lumps, and skin changes.
