What is cancer?
Cancer is a disease that has to do with the body's cells. The body is made up of billions of cells. Normal cells grow and divide (split into two). When they die, they are replaced by new cells.
Sometimes, something goes wrong with some cells
and they don't die. They divide out of control and may grow into a lump (tumour) called cancer. There are over
100 different types of cancer.
How did I get cancer?
Cancer can happen to anybody.
Nobody really knows what causes
most cancers.
Some things (called risk factors) may
make it more likely to happen. These include smoking, not getting enough exercise, drinking too much alcohol, not eating well and being overweight.
Cancer may also develop because
of family history or substances in our environment that affect our bodies, such as chemicals and asbestos.Abnormal cellsAbnormal cells grow out of control
