Are all the different cancers really that different or is it all just cancer and we just specify where it formed?
In: Biology
So to ELI5, cancer is your body’s cells that were once good but have now turned bad. Those bad cells can turn at any moment, anywhere in the body. Depending on the where in the body those cells turned bad, that will determine the type of cancer a person gets. Your body also has super hero cells to fight the bad cells, but sometimes those bad cells are too strong for the super hero cells and those super hero cells need help. Much like in Star Wars, when Luke is trying to destroy the Death Star and then Han shows up with the Millennium Falcon to help. It’s that help we hope will lead to the destruction of the Death Star (one’s cancer).
