Cancer is the abnormal growth of cells. When they don't grow the way they are supposed to..... What kind of side effects or symptoms you have depends on the type of cancer you have - or where it is.

Cancer is a name for rapidly growing cells that cannot be attacked by the immune system.
They eventually invade organs.
The cause can be many things, like smoking for instance. The effect is death if you do not treat it.

Abnormal cell growth that causes disease. There may be different abnormal cell growth that does not cause disease. But cancer does, because it is a mutation caused by different factors that ultimately causes disease.

cancer is a mutation.
and our bodies can't handle mutation of the cells whether it be skin, organ or muscle.
it damages tissues and when clusters of tissues are damaged by mutated cells then it kills off living tissues and we can't live when our tissues are dying.
that's why cancer is dangerous.
