- What is cancer?
Cancer is a disease pertaining to the abnormal growth of cells. In other words, the signals in cells
that are related to cell division are turned off; therefore, the cells become cancerous and divide
uncontrollably. There are more than 100 types of cancer that have been identified thus far;
scientists are still trying to identify others.

- How does cancer spread?
Cancer spreads through the body using the bloodstream or through the lymphatic system they
attach to other cells and spread through the body. then they multiply.
(transition 2)
- What are the hallmarks of cancer?
The seven hallmarks of cancer are uncontrollable growth, evading cell death, processing nutrients,
becoming immortal (in the way of cells themselves), invading tissues, avoiding detection, and
promoting mutations.
- What is cell signaling?
Cell signaling is part of a complex system of communication, that governs basic cellular activities
and coordinates cell actions. In other words, how information passes or moves inside of the
cytoplasm of a cell.

- What are the current treatments that are available for cancer?
The current treatments that are available for cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation
therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, hyperthermia, stem cell transplants, photodynamic
therapy, laser therapy, blood transfusions, and blood donations. Chemotherapy is the least effective
of these treatments because it involves the use of poisons to purge the body of cancer cells, which
can make cancer worse. Similarly, laser therapy can make cancer worse as it can harm healthy cells
such that cancer cells can outnumber normal cells.
