CANCER: Protect Yourself Against Cancer

 CANCER: Protect Yourself Against Cancer



Cancer is a disease of the cells, which are the body’s basic building blocks. The body constantly makes new cells to help us grow, replace worn-out tissue and heal injuries. Normally, cells multiply and die in an orderly way.

Common Types of Cancer
  • Skin Cancer. (Skin Cancer is divided into the non-melanoma and melanoma )
  • Lung Cancer
  • Prostate Cancer
  • Breast Cancer
  • Colorectal Cancer
  • Kidney (Renal) Cancer
  • Bladder Cancer 
  • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma





HOW CANCER START

The cancer that first develops in a tissue or organ is called the primary cancer. A malignant tumour is usually named after the organ or type of cell affected.
A malignant tumour that has not spread to other parts of the body is called localised cancer. A tumour may invade deeper into surrounding tissue and can grow its own blood vessels (a process known as angiogenesis).


If cancerous cells grow and form another tumour at a new site, it is called a secondary cancer or metastasis. A metastasis keeps the name of the original cancer. For example, bowel cancer that has spread to the liver is called metastatic bowel cancer, even though the person may be experiencing symptoms caused by problems in the liver.
