The word itself can stir up fear and uncertainty, but understanding it can help remove some of that anxiety. At SunAct Cancer Institute, we believe in empowering our community with knowledge. So, let’s break it down simply and with hope in our hearts.
At its core, cancer is a condition where cells in the body grow uncontrollably. Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, which normally grow, divide, and die in an orderly way. But sometimes, these cells start behaving abnormally. They don’t follow the natural cycle and instead grow and multiply when they shouldn’t. This unregulated growth can form lumps, called tumors, or affect the normal
functioning of our blood or other tissues.
Cancer is not just one disease. It’s an umbrella term for over 100 different types. Each type is unique in where it starts and how it grows, but all are treatable when detected early and managed with care.
There isn’t always a clear answer to why someone develops cancer. It’s a combination of genetics, lifestyle factors, and environment. Sometimes, it’s inherited from our family, but often, it’s linked to factors like smoking, diet, infections, or exposure to harmful substances. The important thing is that lifestyle
changes can significantly lower the risk.
Cancer research has come a long way. What once seemed like an insurmountable battle is now a field filled with promising treatments and innovations. With advancements in early detection and therapies, survival rates have dramatically improved.
At SunAct Cancer Institute, we want you to know that you’re never alone in this journey. Knowledge is your first line of defense. By understanding what cancer is and how it behaves, we can face it together with strength and resilience.
