Cancer is defined as the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells, resul – graduate researcher

Cancer is defined as the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells, resulting in tumors that can be either benign or malignant (Linton, 2016). Patients and their families are often stressed, sad, and anxious because they fear the unknown. Thus, it is our responsibility as nurses to provide education on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer.
