The human body has a sentry on duty, sounding the alarm if invasion threatens, calling in more troops to defend the base and corpsmen to heal the wounded. Perhaps extra personnel would rush in, only to find themselves unneeded. The commander would find himself with disorder. Every organ in the human body is made up of cells. Normally, cells divide only when the body requires new cells.
Cancer occurs when cell division occurs unnecessarily, without order.
This can strike the breasts, prostate, lungs, etc. Taking a sample of tissue, called a biopsy, is the only sure way to know if a medical problem is cancer. Awareness of breast cancer exceeds that of past generations. Women's health is now given great attention from head to toe with two pendulous stops in between. Reporting of breast cancer is more common.
