Cancer

Cancer is a scary disease...but it’s not always as bad as it seems. In this BrainPOP UK movie, Tim and Moby teach you all about cancer, including how it attacks the body and how it can be detected and treated. In this animated, educational movie you’ll find out how doctors can help, if cancer is detected early enough, but why many people still die from cancer every year. You’ll learn how certain chemicals called carcinogens can cause human cells to reproduce too quickly and then clump together in things called tumours. You’ll also discover the difference between benign and malignant tumours, what metastasis is and how it happens. Finally find out how medical researchers are working around the clock to better understand cancer and come up with new treatments. The prognosis has never been better.
