Cancer is the abnormal growth of cells which have the tendency to multiply in an uncontrolled manner and at times even metastasize. These cells might transform into tumors which can be benign or cancerous. A cancerous tumor can grow and spread to other parts of the body but a benign tumor can only grow and not spread to other parts of the body.
