WHAT IS CANCER

Cancer is the rapid, uncontrolled, abnormal growth of cells. Cancer cells overgrow normal cells and compete with them for space and nutrition.

There are many different types of cancers and by using advanced testing your doctor will be able to determine what type of cancer you have and how to best treat it.

Treatment options vary based on the type of cancer, location and progression of the disease. Chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are three of the most common types of treatments available. These treatments may be used alone or in combination to treat cancer.
