CANCER

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.

WHAT CAUSES CANCER?

THERE ARE FIVE BROAD GROUPS THAT ARE USED TO CLASSIFY CANCER.

CARCINOMAS ARE CHARACTERIZED BY CELLS THAT COVER INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTS OF THE BODY SUCH AS LUNG, BREAST, AND COLON CANCER.

SARCOMAS ARE CHARACTERIZED BY CELLS THAT ARE LOCATED IN BONE, CARTILAGE, FAT, CONNECTIVE TISSUE, MUSCLE, AND OTHER SUPPORTIVE TISSUES.

LYMPHOMAS ARE CANCERS THAT BEGIN IN THE LYMPH NODES AND IMMUNE SYSTEM TISSUES.

LEUKEMIAS ARE CANCERS THAT BEGIN IN THE BONE MARROW AND OFTEN ACCUMULATE IN THE BLOODSTREAM.

ADENOMAS ARE CANCERS THAT ARISE IN THE THYROID, THE PITUITARY GLAND, THE ADRENAL GLAND, AND OTHER GLANDULAR TISSUES.
