What is cancer?

Cancer is a disorder in which cells in one component of the body expand and multiply madly.

Cancerous cells have the ability to infiltrate and decimate surrounding cells, including organs. Cancer can start in one part of the body and spread to other parts. This is referred to as metastasis.

Cells die when they get old or damaged, and new cells replace them. When this organized process fails, anomalous or dented cells grow and multiply when they should not.

These cells can combine to form tumors, which are tissue lumps. Tumors may or may not be cancerous.

Cell division becomes uncontrolled in cancer when genes that control cell division are mutated.

Thus, the correct option is A.
