Cancer is the uncontrolled reproduction of cells in the body. The exact reason why the cells do this is unknown, and it is not understood why the cells are not receptive to the normal signal to stop reproducing. Cancer cells may form a hard lump or tumor and may spread into many areas of the body. Cancer strikes one in three Americans and is usually treated with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. There are four main categories of cancer:
Carcinoma - of the skin, mucus membranes, glands and other organs.
Leukemia - of the blood.
Sarcoma - of the muscles connective tissues and bones.
Lymphoma - of the lymphatic system.
All cancer cells have two things in common: they grow uncontrollably and they have the ability to metastasize (spread to other areas of the body). Cancerous cells can spread through the bloodstream, lymphatic system or other pathways. See individual sections on specific cancers for more information.

The cause of cell damage that results in cancer is unknown, but a number of lifestyle, genetic and environmental factors that increase the risk of cancer include smoking, poor diet, obesity, genetics, free radicals, over exposure to the sun, stress, some viruses, lack of exercise, family history, alcohol use, reproductive factors and environmental pollution.
