    Cancer is caused by mutations that affect the normal cell cycle and allow cells to grow uncontrollably. There are two main types of genes involved - proto-oncogenes which positively regulate the cell cycle and tumor suppressor genes which negatively regulate it. Cancer cells differ from normal cells in that they grow and divide rapidly, take on abnormal shapes and sizes, and can spread to other parts of the body. Cancer diagnosis involves lab tests, imaging scans, and biopsies. Treatment depends on the cancer type and stage but may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapy. Following a healthy diet, protecting skin from sun exposure, exercising regularly, and getting medical checkups can help prevent some cancers.
