Cancer

A syndrome where excessively expanding aberrant cells damage body tissue. Cancer is primarily brought on by genetic alterations. The preponderance of DNA alterations that lead to tumors take place in regions of DNA known as genes. These modifications are also alluded to as genetic changes. Cancer develops when one or more genes alter and generate malignant cells. These concentrations of cancerous cells result in tumors. Cancerous cells have the potential to unshackle from tumors and migrate to other bodily locations through the lymphatic or circulatory systems. (This is recognized as metastasis by medical practitioners.)

For instance, a breast tumor may go into your lungs, which might cause inflammation of the airways. In certain types of blood cancer, your bone marrow creates irregular blood cells that proliferate uncontrollably. The healthy blood cells are eventually replaced by the abnormal blood cells.
