What is cancer?

The myriad of the cells in our body have a tightly regulated system by virtue of which their growth that is then followed by maturity, reproduction and eventual death takes place. Cancer begins to take place when the cells in a part of our body suddenly start to grow out of control. There are various kinds of cancer but they all however start because of the initial uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, that is the root cause and the genesis of cancer in our human bodies.
