Some people say what is cancer so here it is Cancer is not just one disease, but a large group of almost one hundred diseases. Its two main characteristics are uncontrolled growth of the cells in the human body and the ability of these cells to migrate from the original site and spread to distant sites. If the spread is not controlled, cancer can result in death.

So that is cancer what do you think we should do. So should we leave people that fight against cancer or fight with them
