Cancer in Mongolia | Ubpost News: "Mongolia is suffering from a liver cancer mortality rate that tops the world which is six times the global average and the numbers are increasing due to excessive alcohol use.
Cancer begins in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body. Normally, your body forms new cells as you need them, replacing old cells that die. Sometimes this process goes wrong. New cells grow even when you don’t need them, and old cells don’t die when they should. These extra cells can form a mass called a tumour and can be benign or malignant. Cells from malignant tumours will invade nearby tissues and metastasize. Tumour cells often break away and spread to other parts of the body and this is how cancers spread throughout the body. There are over 200 different known cancers that afflict humans."
