Cancer is not a single disease, but rather many diseases where abnormal cells grow uncontrollably. There are over 100 types of cancer that can develop when cells in any part of the body start growing out of control. Risk factors for cancer include behaviors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet, obesity, and lack of exercise. Early detection of cancer symptoms can help improve outcomes, as some cancers are curable if caught early. Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow and blood cells, crowding out normal cells and impairing the immune system. There are four main types of leukemia - acute, chronic, lymphocytic, and myelogenous - which differ in their rate of progression.
