Yes Cancer cells have DNA, just like all the rest of the cells in your (or any organisms body). The only difference is that a cancer cells DNA has been mutated (changed) and not harms the body it is a part of (usually through continual mitosis).
Hope this Helps

What is the difference between cancer cells and old cells?
cancer cell are cells that have a problem in their DNA which can lead to out of control division and old cells have no problems with their DNA they just die and cause no damage
Why would DNA polymerase be useful in a potential anti cancer drug?
DNA polymerase can fill the gaps in the DNA that are left by removal of damage bases. DNA polymerase can help cancer cells to tolerate DNA damage.
What do carcinogens do to normal cells?
the carcinogens change the molecule structure of the dna causing cancer inside the body , they make damaging and irreversible changes to a cells DNA. Carcinogens are things that make cancer worse by aggravating it
What structure within a cell is most likely to play a major role in the development of generations of cancer cells?
The DNA inside the cell is the part that mutates and turns a cell into cancer.
In what human cells would you find the highest concentration of DNA compared with other cell componenets?
Any cell that is dividing has a replicated DNA. The highest N:C ratio (nucleus to cytoplasm) is found in malignant neoplasia (cancer) cells. -MWB
What is the difference between cancer cells and old cells?
cancer cell are cells that have a problem in their DNA which can lead to out of control division and old cells have no problems with their DNA they just die and cause no damage
Is cancer part of DNA?
Cancer is not part of DNA. Change in DNA. may cause cancer . Some people may be born with faulty DNA which might cause the cells that read the faulty section of DNA to reproduce uncontrollably, but on the other hand, exposure to radiation or carcinogens may cause the DNA in a few specific cells to mutate and thus not be controllable by the rest of the cells in your body.
One difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell is that?
a. cancer cells divide uncontrollably. b. normal cells cannot make copies of DNA. c. cancer cells cannot make copies of DNA. d. normal cells divide uncontrollably. (A) cancer cells divide uncontrollably
What would happen if cells with mutated DNA replicated?
Cancer.
What is the relationship between DNA and cancer?
The relationship between Cancer and DNA cancer begins when mutations distrupt the normal cell cycle, causing cells to divide in an uncontrolled way.
Why would DNA polymerase be useful in a potential anti cancer drug?
DNA polymerase can fill the gaps in the DNA that are left by removal of damage bases. DNA polymerase can help cancer cells to tolerate DNA damage.
What characterises a cancer promoter?
A cancer promoter causes cells with DNA mutations to multiply and become tumors.
What happens in a cancer growth?
When the UV rays hit your skin it can cause damage to your DNA cells. this is called getting sunburned. when you get too much sun exposure and your DNA cells are damaged beyond repair then this might cause your DNA cells to break apart. this will cause more cells to form and when the cells reach the flesh it forms skin cancer.
What kind of cells would most likely contain large amounts of repetitive DNA?
Cancer cells
Why does an atomic bomb give people cancer?
Radiation bombards your cells at a microscopic level destroying the DNA. When the DNA then replicates it has errors. The errors cause cancer, which is essentially when cells go wild and not in a fun way.
How is cancer classified?
Cancer is classified as an abnormal growth of cells. This may happen because of a mutation in the cells DNA. When the cells grow abnormal, it usually grows too fast.
Can a wasp sting on your breast give you breast cancer?
No. Breast cancer is in the cells and may also be DNA related.
