Cancer occurs when cells in the body mutate into an abnormal form. These rogue cells divide quickly, creating tumors or invading tissues and blood in the body to make a person sick.

Cancer can be scary, particularly if you don’t understand what is going on in your body. An oncology doctor specializing in cancer medicine can help you identify treatment options and tell you what to expect.
