How does cancer spread?

208 viewsBiologyOther

My understanding of cancer is that an organ’s cells tgo rogue. It starts to multiply uncontrollably and this affects certain functions of that organ. Moreover, this behaviour spreads to other organs resulting in uncontrollable cell multiplication of that organ and so on.

What I don’t understand is how does the uncontrolled cell multiplication of one organ “spread” to another wherein that impacted organ also begins to show this behaviour? How can say breast cells impact lungs by spreading to them considering they are both different organs, functions, cells.

This was a hard read as I’ve been outrunning a stage 3 and different one at stage 4. But I don’t like to stick my head in the sand. What if one was caused by HPV? You can’t kill HPV so does it wait to create more cancer? I’ll be honest it’s a bummer to think about.
