Cancers that are benign, and are just forming, they are under proliferation. A tumor is only considered a cancer only if its malignant, that is, only if its cell have acquired the ability to go to the surrounding tissue.

Epithelial cells is, carcinomas

Connective tissue, sarcomas

Leukemia is all other

90% of humans have carcinomas cancer when they get cancer, such as skin.

If something is benign, it is NOT cancer. Many cancers are treatable today. The one cancer that is usually always fatal is Pancreatic Cancer. The fact that cancer is so evasive means that it is never really cured. They call it remission-meaning that no cancer of it's type after treatment can be detected or is less that 1% of the total type of cells it is in. Cancer is caused by a mutation of some kind of cells DNA. the smallest strand of DNA , which contains the genetic material may have one or more strands that are mutated in some way causing the "cancer" - an abnormal growth of cells that is out of control. Early detection is the key.

Cancers like All forms of Leukemia can develop extremely slowly (follicular) and go undetected for an entire life time. Adult Leukemia usually presents itself later in life. 40 years and up. Treatments can include chemotherapy, radiation and even surgery to remove tumors if present. Treatment for adult Leukemia has come a long way in the last 20 years and survival rates are now into the 60-70% range. Anything over 50% is considered good.

I have AML....Acute Myleoyd Leukemia. I have been in treatment for 2 years.

I feel pretty good now but became very sick before I was diagnosed.

Cancer is much more common in people that most people realize.

Cancers, by their very nature, have a strong tendency to spread. In many cases, if found early, the cancerous area can be treated (either with radiation or Chemotherapy) and/or removed through surgery. However if the cancer has spread to more vital organs and if not treated early, chances begin to lessen of being cured. There are also certain forms of cancer that we understand better than others, and just like many other diseases, cancers can evolve beyond the treatments we currently know/have.
