El cáncer es un grupo de más de 100 enfermedades diferentes. Se puede desarrollar en casi cualquier lugar en el cuerpo.
Las células son las unidades básicas que constituyen el cuerpo humano. Las células crecen y se dividen para producir células nuevas a medida que el cuerpo las necesita. Por lo general, las células mueren cuando envejecen demasiado o son dañadas. Luego, las células nuevas toman su lugar.
