Are all the different cancers really that different or is it all just cancer and we just specify where it formed?
In: Biology
The problem with cancer is that it is your own body that makes it.
Its like a softwhere bug where a programmer has missplaced a decimal point. So instead of creating 10.000 Cells of X type at Y location, the body has been instructed to create 1000.000 Cells. So you get a huge lumps of the same cells where there shouldnt be. Taking up space and nutriment(cell food) that shoud be used on other stuff.
When cancer spreads its becouse small chunks of the cancerius cells breaks off and is transfered to other places of the body repeating the process and clogging up the “machinery”.
And since its all “your cells” the immune system dosnt see it as a treath and dosnt employ its defences.
Thats also why its so difficult to treat, becouse its different from person to person, there are no 2 alike. So the doctors/medicin have to target vary specific stuff vary precisely.
