Cancer is a renegade system of growth that originates within a patient's
biosystem, more commonly known as the human body. There are many different
types of cancers, but all share one hallmark characteristic: unchecked growth
that progresses toward limitless expansion.

people have been affected because either they or their loved ones or friends
are cancer survivors.
Because cancer is so prevalent, people have many questions about its biology,
detection, diagnosis, possible causes, and strategies for prevention.
