What is a Cancer?
Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body.
Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and multiply (through a process called cell division) to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.
What are the causes?
Cancer is caused by genetic changes leading to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor formation. The basic cause of sporadic (non-familial) cancers is DNA damage and genomic instability. A minority of cancers are due to inherited genetic mutations. Most cancers are related to environmental (virus, bacteria, parasite), lifestyle (smoking, alcohol, diet, obesity), or behavioral exposures (air pollution, sunlight).
What are the signs and symptoms?
No symptoms detected when the cancer begin. Signs and symptoms appear as the mass grows or ulcerates. The findings that result depend on cancer’s type and location. Few symptoms are specific. Many frequently occur in individuals who have other conditions. Cancer can be difficult to diagnose.

What is Chemoport?
A chemo port (chemotherapy port) is a small, implantable device which goes under the skin (upper chest, arm or abdomen), and a thin silicone tube connects the device to a vein. Ports are used for medical care, especially those undergoing cancer treatments. These devices reduce the number of needle sticks necessary for blood draws, infusions and injections. A port can help make chemotherapy safer and just a little more comfortable.
