Cancers & Diseases

Your path starts with knowledge.

Cancer is a broad term for diseases in which abnormal cells in the body grow uncontrollably. In a healthy body, cells grow and divide in a controlled manner to replace old or damaged cells. However, in cancer, this regulation breaks down, and the cells divide without control. These rogue cells can then invade surrounding tissues, disrupt normal bodily functions, and often lead to the formation of a tumor.

At The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, our physicians treat all stages of cancer and diseases. Learn more about the different types of cancer and diseases, including information on symptoms, risk factors, and more.
