Are all the different cancers really that different or is it all just cancer and we just specify where it formed?
In: Biology
They are not. Cancer is an umbrella term for a variety of different diseases that can be very very different from each other but share certain commonalities which are far less than their differences. it’s like the word Dairy. to say I need dairy is not very useful but to say this shop has dairy products is useful. This is similar to saying Skin Cancer which are dozens of different malignant diseases but those names are not useful for the patient nor any layman
