Cancer screening is the widespread uses of tests to detect cancers in the population.
Cancer is caused by the accumulation of multiple mutations in the DNA of a cell.
Considerable research effort is now devoted to the development of vaccines to prevent infection by oncogenic agents, and to potential venues for gene therapy for individuals with genetic mutations or polymorphisms that put them at high risk of cancer.

Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell division leading to growth of abnormal tissue.
It is believed that cancers arise from both genetic and environmental factors that lead to aberrant growth regulation of a stem cell population, or by the dedifferentiation of more mature cell types.
Cell multiplication (proliferation) is a normal physiologic process that occurs in almost all tissues and under many circumstances, such as response to injury, immune responses, or to replace cells that have died or have been shed as a part of their lifecycle (in tissues such as skin or the mucous membranes of the digestive tract).
