You can donate in many different ways:

Cancer is a disease affecting the growth rate of affected tissues, in which the control mechanisms of cells become altered and the cells divide to form neoplastic growths or tumours. These growths have no apparent physiological function and can harm the body. Tumours are either benign or malignant and can accumulate anywhere in the body. Benign tumours consist of well-differentiated cells similar to those in the surrounding tissues and are usually harmless unless located in regions where no operation is possible. Benign tumours aren’t cancerous. They can often be removed, and, in most cases, they do not come back. Cells in benign tumours do not spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumours however are dangerous and usually contain embryonic cells, which are capable of floating away and forming new malignant growths in other sites. Malignant tumours are cancerous. Some cancers do not form tumours. For example, leukaemia is a cancer of the bone marrow and blood. Little is known of the cause of cancer, though exposure to carcinogens (cancer causing agents) such as nicotine from cigarette smoke and the presence of certain microorganisms are possible causes. Cancer types can be grouped into categories.

The main categories of cancer include:

• Carcinoma – Cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.
• Sarcoma – Cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue.
• Leukaemia – Cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood.
• Lymphoma and Myeloma – Cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system.
• Central nervous system cancers – Cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord.
