Cancer – The Lotus Valley

Cancer

Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and division, where abnormal cells can invade surrounding tissues and spread to other parts of the body. These malignant tumors, unlike benign tumors which remain localized, can spread through the blood or lymphatic systems, a process called metastasis.

What is Cancer?

Uncontrolled Growth:

Cancer cells grow and multiply without the normal controls that regulate cell division, leading to the formation of tumors.

Invasion and Spread:

Cancer cells can invade nearby tissues and spread to distant parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system (metastasis).

Malignant Tumors:

Only malignant tumors, which are capable of invasion and metastasis, are properly considered cancers.

Carcinomas: Most common type, originating in epithelial tissues such as the skin, lungs, and breasts.

Sarcomas: Grow in bones, muscles, and connective tissues.

Leukemias: Develop in blood-forming tissues.

Lymphomas: Originate in the lymphatic system.

Melanomas: Develop from melanocytes, the cells that produce pigment in the skin.
