Cancer - Spreading Process

Cancer is a lethal disease and it forms inside the body microscopically and then grows to a dangerous level. Early detection is the only way to destruct cancer cells and to save the patient, otherwise, the consequences are not good. We will see now how it spreads.

Cancer takes place when irregular and wild splitting up of cells that form the lethality. These cells are then marched into and wipe out the nearby healthy tissues and continuously reproduce them again and again and so their count increases day by day and this is the condition, in which they become wild in nature and they fail to stop their reproduction and so their growth persists. They then affect the nearby normal tissues and make them die because of less requirement of food.

The abnormal cancer fragments have some different characteristic features from the normal tissue fragments. They then become malignant and so invade to the adjacent normal tissues and organs and then spoil their normal function. A number of the malignant cells get separated from the starting point area of cancer formation and so they move to the blood vessels and also to the lymph vessels that are present in the remote areas of the focal point of cancer. In this way, they cells affect the growth of the normal body tissues and organs.

Cancers are of two types such as slowly developing and rapidly developing. The rapidity is depending on the area of disease where it affects in the human body. The ratio of rapidity also depends on the inborn character of the cancer fragments types too. The spreading nature of it is called metastasis. In the initial phases, any type of cancer may grow slower compared to the speed of growth of it in the late phases. The diagnosis of cancer in the initial phases may be known accidentally or by any symptoms of the patient.

Tumor or massive collection of cancer happened after its spread. Nodule is another name of the tumor. The steadfastness of the organ is felt in the patient if the cancer is in the surface organs. We don't need to fear that every swelling or tumor is malignant one. Some cancers are malignant and some nodules are benign types. Benign types will be cured easily and malignant tumors are fatal. The best examples of benign tumors are cysts and warts and adenomas. The malignant nature of the cancer is assessed only when the tissue of the area of their appearance by a visual examination called biopsy. Biopsy will determine whether they are malignant or curable benign.
