- Intro To Cancer
Cancer starts as a genetic mutation in a few cells. The mutation can be due to radiation or some genetic problem. The cells then reproduce without stopping. The cancer cells find a place and then continue to reproduce until they create a tumor. The image...

Each cell contains genes that help to control when it divides. Cells divide by mitosis only when required. When receives signals from neighbouring cells, it responds by dividing or not dividing. If this control goes wrong, cells may not divide when they...

Definition:
A group of diseases which are characterised by abnormal and uncontrolled growth through their division. Cancer cells tend to invade surrounding tissue leading to malignancy.
