Case Study - Cancer & a Healthy Diet

Cancer is the general name for well over 200 different diseases, each with some common traits that can affect virtually every part of the body, including the organs. These common traits are abnormal cell division, the tendency to be invasive and the tendency to spread from one area to another. Cancer is typically named for the body part or organ where it is first discovered or can be named for the kind of tissue in which it arises. For most people, however, it does not matter where it is or what kind of tumor is growing there, it is cancer and it is very scary.
