How can cancer begin, and how does it develop?

Wow, too much. : I need a book to answer your question. Cancer is a disease where for whichever reason, the instructions that control cell growth become messed up (or maybe came that way from the parents) so the cells lack the normal regulatory systems that keep them in check. Look for details in reputable sites like the nci or the acs.
