{{fa}}Cancer is not a single disease, but is instead a collection of related diseases that arise from different kinds of cells in the body.<ref name="rf1">http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/what-is-cancer</ref> Cancer occurs when cells that normally grow in a controlled fashion begin out-of-control growth and continue to divide without stopping. On a molecular level, scientists know that mutations in certain genes contribute to the development of cancer but it is impossible to predict when and where cancer will occur. Genes, lifestyle, and protective/risk factors all play a role in the development of cancer.<ref name="rf2">http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/geneticsandcancer/genetictesting/genetic-testing-intro</ref> Learn what you can do to reduce your risk. | {{fa}}Cancer is not a single disease, but is instead a collection of related diseases that arise from different kinds of cells in the body.<ref name="rf1">http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/what-is-cancer</ref> Cancer occurs when cells that normally grow in a controlled fashion begin out-of-control growth and continue to divide without stopping.
