Answer 21.

A condition known as cancer occurs when some body cells grow out of control and spread to other body regions.

Since there are billions of cells in the human body, cancer can form almost everywhere. Human cells generally divide and multiply (via a process known as cell division) to produce new cells as needed by the body. When cells become damaged or old, they die and are replaced by new cells.


Erroneous or damaged cells start to multiply and mature when they shouldn't when this regular process fails. These cells may turn into tumours.
