I think we should know about Cancer which is today most danger disease in the all the world.Here is its Characteristics,Some Myths and Facts about it.
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 :-
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.
The most fundamental characteristic of cells is their ability to reproduce themselves. They do this simply by dividing. One cell becomes two, the two become four, and so on. The division of normal and healthy cells occurs in a regulated and systematic fashion. In most parts of the body, the cells continually divide and form new cells to supply the material for growth or to replace worn-out or injured cells. For example, when you cut your finger, certain cells divide rapidly until the tissue is healed and the skin is repaired. They will then go back to their normal rate of division. In contrast, cancer cells divide in a haphazard manner. The result is that they typically pile up into a non-structured mass or tumor.
Because cancer affects so many more people than some of the other serious illnesses, it might be useful to consider some of the myths and facts surrounding this still much-feared illness.
Although cancer is often referred to as a single condition, it actually consists of more than 100 different diseases. These diseases are characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. Cancer can arise in many sites and behave differently depending on its organ of origin. Breast cancer, for example, has different characteristics than lung cancer. It is important to understand that cancer originating in one body organ takes its characteristics with it even if it spreads to another part of the body. For example, metastatic breast cancer in the lungs continues to behave like breast cancer when viewed under a microscope, and it continues to look like a cancer that originated in the breast.

No one ever fully recovers from cancer.
Cancer is catching.
If a tumor is exposed to air it will spread.

Here is the some Facts about the Cancer. :-
Medical treatments often cause significant side effects and varying degrees of discomfort, but these are relatively minor when compared to the often uncontrollable, unpleasant, painful and life-threatening effects of alternative or no treatment.
Most Cancers detected at an early stage are potentially curable. Medical testing procedures have enabled doctors to detect many cancers early enough for them to be successfully treated.
There is no type of cancer from which no one has recovered.
Many more cancers are treatable today than they were even ten years ago.
Cancer is the most curable of all chronic diseases. Over half the people treated with conventional medicine will still be alive five years after their diagnosis.
Nearly half the people treated for cancer never requires any further treatment; some cancers are easy to cure, some are not.
Many people live with cancer in the same way others live with diabetes.
In my own case, I injected myself with interferon three times a week for almost four years before I found the drug that wiped out the last traces of my leukemia in one blow.
The side effects of most treatments can be controlled or treated.
Your doctor can offer you proven and documented evidence from around the world about the successes and failures of conventional medical treatments.
