Cancer is not only one disease, but a group of more than 100 different diseases. Cancer can involve any tissue of the body and have many different forms in each area.

If a cancer spreads (metastasizes), the new tumor bears the same name as the original (primary) tumor. Cancer is the Latin word for crab. The ancients used the word to mean a malignancy, doubtless because of the crab-like tenacity a malignant tumor sometimes seems to show grasping the tissues it invades.

Cancer frequency does not equate to cancer mortality. Skin cancers are curable. While lung cancer is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States today.
