cancer is the mutation of cells. these cells then undergo mitosis (or divide) at a rapid pace and in an uncontrolled manner, which allows them to overtake other body organs or tissues. therefore the organs that have been taken over will eventually stop being able to carry out their functions correctly.

if a cancerous lump is not surrounded by a membrane (becomes malignant) it can then spread throughout the body via lymph nodes.
