1. What is cancer?

Cancer is a condition in which the cells of the human body grow out of control autonomously. Cells are the tiny building blocks that make the body. Cells usually grow when your body needs them, and die when it doesn’t need them any longer but in a disease like cancer, the cells continue to multiply even though the body doesn’t need them. These abnormal cells grow rapidly and start taking the form of a lump or mass usually referred to as a tumor.

2. What are the stages of cancer?

The majority of cancers involve tumors that grow over time and are categorized into 5 different stages.

Stage 0 – It indicates that there is no cancer but the body has abnormal cells with the potential to become cancerous. This is also called carcinoma in situ.

Stage I – It indicates that a cancerous tumor is very small and has been confined to one area of the body. It is also known as early-stage cancer.

Stage II & III – Both stages indicate that the cancerous tumor is growing larger and has started growing or has already grown into the nearby tissues or lymph nodes.

Stage ...
... IV – It indicates that cancerous tumors/cancerous cells have spread to the other parts of the body. It is commonly known as advanced or metastatic cancer.
