Well. Cancer is basically cells that rapidly grow and crowd out useful cells. It all depends where the cancer is. If it's a tumor, it can be anywhere in the body. So if one has a tumor in the leg, it is a bunch of cells that rapidly produce that can prevent useful cells from doing their duty.
Another type of cancer is leukemia, blood cancer. Nothing gets mutated, but white blood cells are rapidly produced, crowding out the red blood cells and platelets. I hope this helps.

How is cancer is relates to cell cycle?
Cancer is related to the cell cycle because when a person gets infected, the cancerous cells attack healthy cells and then mutate the cells and then it rapidly creates new, mutated cells. The mutated cells then attack more healthy cells and the process is repeated. Cancerous cells can be killed with radiation
