FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions About Cancer
Find clear explanations of important oncology concepts.
What is cancer?
Cancer is a group of diseases in which certain cells grow uncontrollably and may invade surrounding tissues or spread to other parts of the body.
What causes cancer?
Cancer develops through changes in genes that regulate cell growth and division. Such changes may arise from inherited genetic variants, environmental exposures, errors during cell division, and other factors.
What are cancer biomarkers?
Cancer biomarkers are measurable biological characteristics, such as genetic alterations or proteins, that can provide information about a cancer or its response to treatment.
What is the tumor microenvironment?
The tumor microenvironment includes cancer cells and neighboring immune cells, stromal cells, blood vessels, signaling molecules, and extracellular matrix.
What is the difference between tumor grade and stage?
Grade generally describes how abnormal tumor cells appear under the microscope and may reflect their biological behavior. Stage describes the extent of the cancer, including its size and whether it has spread.
