What is cancer?
Cancer is a disease that develops when cells in your body divide at a faster rate than normal. These abnormal cells grow into a lump — or tumor.

How is the stage of cancer determined?
Your healthcare provider will perform tests to determine the extent and severity of your cancer. A number will then be assigned to your diagnosis. The higher the number, the more cancer has spread.

What are the four stages of cancer?
Most cancers have four stages. The specific stage is determined by a few different factors, including the size and location of the tumor:

Stage I: Cancer is localized to a small area and hasn’t spread to lymph nodes or other tissues.
Stage II: Cancer has grown, but it hasn’t spread.
Stage III: Cancer has grown larger and has possibly spread to lymph nodes or other tissues.
Stage IV: Cancer has spread to other organs or areas of your body. This stage is also referred to as metastatic or advanced cancer.
Though stages I through IV are the most common, there is also stage zero. This earliest phase describes cancer that is still localized to the area in which it started. Cancers that are still in stage zero are usually easily treatable and are considered pre-cancerous by most healthcare providers.

What are the 5 types of cancer?
There are five main types of cancer. These include:

Carcinoma. This type of cancer affects organs and glands, such as the lungs, breasts, pancreas and skin. Carcinoma is the most common type of cancer.
Sarcoma. This cancer affects soft or connective tissues, such as muscle, fat, bone, cartilage or blood vessels.
Melanoma. Sometimes cancer can develop in the cells that pigment your skin. These cancers are called melanoma.
Lymphoma. This cancer affects your lymphocytes or white blood cells.
Leukemia. This type of cancer affects blood.
How common is cancer?
Cancer is a common disease that can affect almost every part of your body. About 39.5% of all people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives.

How does cancer start in your body?
Cancer occurs when your genes stop controlling the way your cells divide. For example, instead of old cells dying, they grow and form abnormal cells.

How dangerous is cancer?
Cancer is potentially fatal. Currently, it’s the leading cause of death worldwide. However, fatality rates largely depend on the type of cancer and how far it has spread. Many types of cancer are successfully treated with prompt care.

Why is cancer so deadly?
When cancer cells develop, they can disturb proper organ function. This can result in reduced oxygen supply and a buildup of waste products. If vital organ function is impaired, it can lead to death.
