Cancer is a word that frightens almost everyone. There are over 100 types of cancer.

In simple words, cancer is a disease that affects cells in our bodies. Each cell in our body has a specific function to keep us healthy and active. Normally a cell matures over a period of time and then will be replaced by new ones.

If a cell is damaged, they will keep dividing even when new cells are not needed. Those extra cells can form a tumor.
