Description
FACTS:

Few words evoke our most atavistic fears as strongly as the word cancer. But the word has a rather humble origin: the Greek physician Hippocrates (460-370 BC) was reminded of a crab when he saw the spreading tendrils of a tumor - and he called the disease karkinosis, or crab, later Latinized to cancer.

The name cancer now applies to a group of over 100 different diseases that all have two things in common. As a result of genetic damage, normal cells become cancerous and can grow in an uncontrolled manner. In addition, these cells can invade other tissues, disrupting and destroying the structures and organs they infiltrate. (Without this second ability, tumors can only grow in a limited way and are called benign.)
