Historic Perspective What is Cancer? Categories of Cancer Cancer Diagnosis Cancer Facts and the War on Cancer General Definition of Cancer General Definition of Cancer Cancer Terms Cell Biology of Cancer Cancer Risk Factors Unit Review There are many texts and references that attempt to define cancer. The simplest definition is from the American Cancer Society (ACS). According to the ACS, cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. If the spread is not controlled, it can result in death. Characteristics of Cancer Abnormality Cells are the structural units of all living things. Each of us has trillions of cells, as does a growing tree. Cells make it possible for us to carry out all kinds of functions of life: the beating of the heart, breathing, digesting food, thinking, walking, and so on. However, all of these functions can only be carried out by normal healthy cells. Some cells stop functioning or behaving as they should, serving no useful purpose in the body at all, and become cancerous cells.
