      Cancer is actually a collective term for a bunch of different diseases – it just means that cells start dividing out of control, harming our bodies. Since we have over 200 types of cells, all of these can get cancer but they get them in different ways – so different types of cure exist to cure different types of cancer, while other types have no cures developed (yet!)
