When a cell becomes old or is damaged, they usually die, and the body forms new ones. However, this sequence is becomes broken in case cancer develops. This development results in old and damaged cells not dying while new ones are formed when not needed and lead to growths known as tumors. Most cancers usually result in solid tumors, which are usually masses of tissue (Heidari & Gobato, 2019).
