As the title says, I want to know how does cancer form and expand on the body and why is it so hard to treat sometimes.
Pd: I’m sorry if I wrote something incorrectly, english is not my first language.

**how does cancer form:**
cells become damaged and start to behave abnormally; they pass along this bad code when they divide.
**what causes cancer**
exact cause is unknown – but there are many activities that increase the likelyhood…….smoking cigarettes; too much sun exposure; consuming non-food “stuff”
**why is cancer hard to treat** (lets assume lung cancer)
cancer is usually attached to the rest of the body so you have cancer tissue connected to healthy lung tissue…..this means removing the cancer damages the lung just by removing it. treating the cancer cells usually means damaging surrounding cells.
your cancer is not 100% identical to my cancer. what treatments work for me might have little impact for you
some treatments might damage other aspects of your general health (chemotherapy is very hard for lots of patients)
