Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, which normally grow, divide, and die in an orderly way. But sometimes, these cells start behaving abnormally. They don\u2019t follow the natural cycle and instead grow and multiply when they shouldn\u2019t. This unregulated growth can form lumps, called tumors, or affect the normal<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">functioning of our blood or other tissues.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cancer is not just one disease.
