Cancer is a cluster of diseases that unfortunately affect millions of people around the world, which is why it is essential that you have at your disposal a list that allows you to locate the most common types of cancer and even those that are rare but they are part of our lives, since through information we can always be calmer and we will have greater accessibility to the systems that allow us to cure them or, at least, improve the patient.
What is cancer
Cancer is the name given to a group of diseases in which certain cells develop non-stop, dividing and moving to other surrounding tissues.
It must be taken into account that, as a general rule, cells divide naturally based on the needs of the body, that is, when other cells they replace have aged, been damaged for some reason or even die. However, in the case of cancer, what happens is that a lack of control occurs so that the cells begin to divide without any justified reason, so that they begin to form masses that are called tumors.
These cells are increasingly being created in a more abnormal way, so that cells that were aging or damaged are forced to continue doing their work, which gives rise to the problems we know as tumors.
These tumors can solidify so that masses of tissue are formed and can become cancerous, which are what we know as malignant tumors, which spread to other tissues and can invade them.
