What is cancer? Cancer is a disease that is the result of the development of abnormal cells in the body. The name of cancer is based on the organ where the cancerous cells firstly develop. There are more than 100 types of cancer, with some of the most famous ones including breast cancer, lung cancer, cervical cancer, skin cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, and lymphoma. The symptoms of each cancer can be different, but some of the general symptoms include fatigue, lump under the skin, skin thickening, bleeding, and bruising.

Cancerous cells firstly develop in a certain organ in the body. When it gets severe or when the stage is moving higher, the cancer spreads to another part of the body, which is known as cancer metastasis. When cancer has spread from its original place to another area, it is called advanced (or locally advanced when it only spreads to nearby tissue). The most common areas of spread of metastasis include lung, liver, lymph nodes, and bones. When the cancer has spread to a new location, the cancer is still name with the organ it firstly develops from.

It is important that you have more and more cancer info, especially if you notice any symptoms or if you belong to the high risk group. Though cancer can happen in any age, people who are 65 or older have higher risk of cancer. Certain habits can increase the risk of cancer, including drinking alcohol, smoking, being obese, excessive exposure of sun, etc. People with family history of cancer or with certain health conditions (like ulcerative colitis) also have higher risk of cancer.

People have tried many treatments to help them improve the cancer, one of which is through cancer nutrition program. It is believed that cancer patients must take good nutrition. A healthy diet includes drinking enough water and having enough important nutrients (minerals, vitamins, protein, fat, and carbohydrates). The healthy diet is important during cancer therapy as it helps fight infection and keep body tissue healthy.
