Understanding Your Diagnosis
What Is Cancer?
Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably,
invading nearby tissues and spreading to other parts of the body via the
bloodstream or lymphatic system. Whether you've been newly diagnosed, are an
existing patient, or would like to gain a better understanding about cancer, in
this section you'll find general cancer information, as well as a thorough
resource for many different types of cancers.
Although facing a diagnosis of cancer
can be frightening, resources are available to help you. Keep in mind that there
are many myths and misconceptions about cancer. At the present time, over half
the people who are diagnosed with cancer have a good chance of long-term
survival. New treatments are developed every day.
