Cancers We Treat

What is cancer?

First of all, it is important to understand that cancer is a very diverse group of many diseases that affect our body. To understand this, one must understand that our body is made up of many different types of cells that normally grow, divide, and produce more cells as the older cells die. Occasionally, this process becomes unregulated and cells begin to divide even when new cells are not needed. This group of extra cells forms a tumor.

Tumors are being classified as being benign or malignant. Benign tumors are not necessarily what we often consider to be cancer. They can usually be removed and in most cases will not come back. The most important distinction about benign tumors is that the cells of these tumors do not spread to other parts of the body. While benign tumors are rarely fatal, they can occasionally cause severe complications. Malignant tumors on the other hand, are what many generally consider to be cancer. Tumor cells in malignant tumors can break away and spread to other parts of the body, which is known as metastasizing. Once these cells have metastasized to other parts of the body, they can grow and form tumors in these other regions.
