Cancerous tumors spread to neighboring tissues and start metastasis; this causes the formation of new cancerous growths. These tumors may be benign or malignant i.e. may or may not be cancerous. Cancer is growing rapidly day by day and now is a very common disease. Due to our sedentary lifestyle, food adulterations and unhealthy diet routines the spread of cancer is high.
