Cancer encompasses a family of several hundreds of diseases which are distinguished by site, morphology, clinical behavior, and response to therapy. Whether considered from a biological, a clinical, or a public health point of view, it is the malignant and invasive nature of many of these diseases and their ability to spread to distant organs (metastasis) that are of dominant importance.

Cancer encompasses a family of several hundreds of diseases which are distinguished by site, morphology, clinical behavior, and response to therapy. Whether considered from a biological, a clinical, or a public health point of view, it is the malignant and invasive nature of many of these diseases and their ability to spread to distant organs (metastasis) that are of dominant importance.
