SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS A class of disorders known as cancer is defined by the uncontrolled growth of cells and the ability for the disease to invade or spread to other body parts. The development of malignant tumours, which can be deadly if treatment is delayed, results from genetic abnormalities that affect regular cellular functioning.
