Understanding Cancer

Cancer is a broad term for conditions in which abnormal cells grow uncontrollably and can spread to other parts of the body. There are many types of cancer, each with unique characteristics, treatment approaches, and care needs. Understanding the type of cancer your loved one has helps guide effective home care and support.
