- 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...

???????? > ???????+???? (= hard+move)
