Are all the different cancers really that different or is it all just cancer and we just specify where it formed?
In: Biology
Different mutations cause different cancers. Cancer is as broad a term as *virus*.
Imagine you had a recipe for a really good soup, and so you share it by copying it by hand and giving a copy to someone else.
You then inadvertently make a mistake in your copy.
If the mistake is a simple typo, like you misspelled celrey, the next person will usually catch that and change it back to celery. However, if a mistake isn’t caught, your friend will continue to make the soup as you described.
Maybe instead of a pinch of salt, you carelessly wrote down a cup of salt. Or instead of adding celery, you accidentally wrote cilantro. Either way, the soup ends up tasting like crap (cilantro tastes like soap, change my mind), but the solution to fixing the soup is completely different.
