Cancer is a disease, it can start almost anywhere in the body. It is a bunch of old and damage cells that grow and multiply uncontrollably to other parts of the body, these cells forms tumor.
Normally, in human body cells grow and multiply to form new cells as the body needs them, when new cells grow, old or damage cells die and new cells take their place.
But sometimes instead of dying the old or damage cells start growing and multiplying rapidly and thus they come together and form tumor. When a tumor starts forming then it is not cancerous but if this tumor remains in the body for a long time then cancer starts developing in it. These cells start growing very rapidly in the entire body.
Therefore, if there is a lump anywhere in the body, get it removed immediately. Keeping a lump in the body for a long time can cause cancer.
