Definition
Abnormal growths of cells in the body that can be benign (harmless) or malignant (cancerous).
Etymology
From Latin 'tumere' meaning 'to swell.' The word entered English in the 14th century to describe any abnormal swelling, but became specifically associated with medical growths over time.
Kelly Says
Cancer cells are basically your body's own cells that forgot their job—instead of growing, dividing, and dying on schedule, they just keep dividing forever, piling up like an endless crowd at a concert.
