Cancer is not one disease, but a collection of related diseases that can occur almost anywhere in the body. At its most basic, cancer is a disease of the genes in the cells of our body. Genes regulate how our cells function, but changes in these genes can cause cells to malfunction. This can lead to cells growing and dividing uncontrollably or failing to die when they should. These abnormal cells can become cancerous. Learn more about how cancer develops. https://go.nih.gov/2Dihxty
