Cancer Type

Cancer is a type of disease characterized by the abnormal growth of cells. Your body consists of trillions of cells that serve a diverse range of functions. These cells all follow an orderly code in their genes that govern their behaviour.

When a cell’s genetic code alters or damaged, it can behave in an unpredictable manner, such as failing to perform its intended functions and growing abnormally. When this happens, the cell can multiply until it forms a mass called a tumour. Tumours are classified as benign or malignant. When it demonstrates limited growth and does not spread to other parts of the body, it may be considered benign. Such tumours may not be considered cancerous and are generally less dangerous.

So do not hesitate to undergo regular cancer screening and consult a doctor if you notice any cancer symptoms.
