Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. In 2008, 7.6 million people died of cancer 13% of all deaths worldwide (WHO)
One defining feature of cancer is the rapid creation of abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries, and which can then invade other parts of the body and spread to other organs (a process called Metastasis).
