How can cancer cells destroy healthy cells and thus kill you?
In: Biology
They don’t destroy other cells. They themselves are normal cells that become abnormal. Normal cells have a time frame and a self destruction mechanism. It Sacrifice itself for the greater good.
Cancer cells are the opposite. They are normal cells that failed to destroy itself and grow/multiple uncontrolled. That growth will continue until it interfere and disrupt other cells and organs from performing their jobs. Death is the result from these organs failures.
Cancer cells are also known as immortal cells. Think of cancer cell as good cop who has gone rogue or Skywalker who turned to the dark side.
