Are all the different cancers really that different or is it all just cancer and we just specify where it formed?
In: Biology
All different. I like to think of it like fruits and veggies. You have a bunch of oranges in the grocery bin and one looks all funky and bumpy. That is orange cancer (or breast cancer for example). Then you have a bunch of carrots and one has extra bumps and arms. That is carrot cancer (or colon cancer for example) . Let’s say you have a stack of peppers and there is a funky orange in with the peppers. That is orange cancer that has traveled to the peppers (breast cancer that has traveled to the lungs for example) . Then you have a weird thing you can’t even tell if it was a fruit or a vegetable. It is all bumpy, but you can tell it was some sort of edible fruit or veggie, but can’t tell what it was, that is cancer of unknown origin.
