Cancer: Cancer is a disorder in which some of the cells of the body grow at an abnormal rate and spread to other parts of the body they are not originally meant to be in. Cancer is acknowledged as a genetic disease. It is most probably inherited from either parent or a blood relative. Extreme weight loss, loss of appetite, extreme lethargy, anaemia (low blood levels) and giddiness are some of the common symptoms of cancer.
