Brain and Spinl Cord Cancer
Cancer is a group of many related diseases. All forms of cancer involve out-of-control growth and spread of abnormal cells. Cancer cells continue to grow and divide, and can spread to other parts of the body. These cells accumulate and form tumors. They may compress, invade, and destroy normal tissue. If cells break away from a tumor, they can travel through the bloodstream, or the lymph system to other areas of the body. There, they may settle and form "colony" tumors. In their new location, the cancer cells continue growing. The spread of a tumor to a new site is called metastasis. Leukemia, a form of cancer, does not usually form a tumor. Instead, these cancer cells involve the blood and blood-forming organs (bone marrow, lymphatic system, and spleen). They circulate through other tissues where they can accumulate. Cancer is classified by the part of the body in which it began, and by its appearance under a microscope. Different types of cancer vary in their rates of growth, patterns of spread, and responses to different types of treatment. A symptom is an indication of disease, illness, injury, or that something is not
