WHAT IS CANCER DISEASE?

Over 7.6 million people died in cancer for the past years. Oncologist is a physician and researcher who specialize in the study of cancer disease, this includes diagnosis, treatment and prevention of different types of cancer all over the world. 


What causes cancer Disease?

Cancer is ultimately the result of cells that uncontrollably grow and do not die. Normal cells in the body follow an orderly path of growth, division, and death. Programmed cell death is called apoptosis, and when this process breaks down, cancer begins to form. Unlike regular cells, cancer cells do not experience programmatic death and instead continue to grow and divide. This leads to a mass of abnormal cells that grows out of control.
