    Cancer is abnormal, uncontrolled cell growth that can form tumors. Cells with cancer mutations exploit mitosis to rapidly spread. Melanoma symptoms include large or dark moles, weight loss, and lower immunity. Main causes are sun exposure and genetics. Treatment options are surgery, radiation, and immunotherapy to stimulate the immune system against cancer cells. Early detection improves survival rates significantly.

    What Is Cancer ?

    People who know about


    constellations may know
    cancer as the crab being
    crushed by Hercules, but Im
    talking about the grim disease
    that has taken many lives. The
    disease that I speak of isnt
    really a disease at all, it is an
    abnormal growth of unwanted
    or mutated cells in the body.

    Mitosis and Cancer


    Mitosis is the form of asexual
    reproduction that cells use
    to multiply. Cells with the
    cancer mutation exploit
    mitosis to spread and grow
    rapidly. His causes tumors to
    form on and in the body.

    Symptoms of Melanoma!
    Possible effects on the
    Body

    Large moles and Dark


    Spots on the body

    Weight Loss

    Lower resistance to
    Infection

    Possible Causes of Melanoma!


    The

    Main cause of skin


    cancer is exposure to UV
    rays from the sun.
    Skin

    cancer could also


    be Hereditary.

    Immunotherapy also
    works, immunotherapy
    stimulates the patients
    own immune system to
