Frequently Asked Questions
Cancer is a group of diseases where abnormal cells grow and divide uncontrollably, potentially forming tumors and spreading to other parts of the body.
Benign tumors are non-cancerous and don’t spread, while malignant tumors are cancerous and can invade nearby tissues or spread through blood or lymph systems.
Some cancers are linked to inherited gene mutations, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2, which increase cancer risk but do not guarantee cancer will develop.
Detecting cancer early improves treatment options, increases survival rates, reduces treatment side effects, and lowers healthcare costs.
