Cancer is really a group of diseases.
There are more than 100 different types of cancer, but they all are a disease of some of the body's cells. Healthy cells that make up the body's tissues grow, divide, and replace themselves in an orderly way. This process keeps the body in good repair. Sometimes, however, normal cells lose their ability to limit and direct their growth. They divide too rapidly and grow without any order.
