Cancer (medical term:  malignant  neoplasm) is a class of  diseases  in which a group of  cells display  uncontrolled growth  (division  beyond the normal limits),  invasion  (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes   metastasis  (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from  benign tumors, which are self-limited, and do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a  tumor  but some, like  leukemia, do not. Cancer affects people at all ages with the risk for most types increasing with age. Cancers are caused by abnormalities in the  genetic material  of the  transformed  cells. These abnormalities may be due to the effects of  carcinogens, such as  tobacco smoke,  radiation, chemicals, or  infectious agents. Other cancer-promoting genetic abnormalities may be randomly occur through errors in  DNA replication, or are  inherited, and thus present in all cells from birth. The heritability  of cancers is usually affected by complex interactions between carcinogens and the host's  genome. Genetic abnormalities found in cancer typically affect two general classes of genes. Cancer-promoting   oncogenes  are typically activated in cancer cells, giving those cells new properties, such as hyperactive growth and division, protection against  programmed cell death, loss of respect for normal tissue boundaries, and the ability to become established in diverse tissue environments. Tumor suppressor genes  are then inactivated in cancer cells, resulting in the loss of normal functions in those cells, such as accurate DNA replication, control over the  cell cycle, orientation and adhesion within tissues, and interaction with protective cells of the  immune system. Definitive diagnosis requires the  histologic  examination of a  biopsy  specimen, although the initial indication of malignancy can be symptomatic or  radiographic  imaging abnormalities. Most cancers can be treated and some cured, depending on the specific type, location, and  stage. Once diagnosed, cancer is usually treated with a combination of  surgery,  chemotherapy  and  radiotherapy.
