Are all the different cancers really that different or is it all just cancer and we just specify where it formed?
In: Biology
Other people have already fairly well explained the different cancers. Here’s how I conceptualize them:
They are about as unique as people. What I mean by that, is that the outline is the same, and the devils lie in the details. All humans are born the same way, as are cancers (sexual reproduction is to humans as damaged, unchecked replicating DNA is to cancer). The type of cancer a specific cancer is, is like a personality is to a person. You remove the personality/type of cancer, and you have mostly identical things. Humans: a walking, talking, bipedal hominid with 5 fingers/toes on each hand and foot. Cancer is a broken gene sequence that cannot stop self-replicating and eventually sucks away all the bodies vitamins and other nutrients.
