Cancer itself is not a pathogen, i.e. it is not an infectious agent communicated from one living being to another. It is a condition, the condition of unregulated cell growth.
Cancer is, of course, not a single disease and there are hundreds of diseases which are deemed to be a type of cancer. Of those many forms of cancer, there are some which are known to be linked to particular pathogens, i.e. some kind of infection agent, such as a virus (e.g. Human papillomavirus or HPV linked to Cervical cancer), bacteria (e.g. Streptococcus bovis (S. bovis) colorectal cancer) or even mold (e.g. Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus are known to cause liver cancer) , is known to be the "cause" of the cancer. It is highly uncertain, but (see link below) it has been estimated that around 20% of cancers are connected to, if not caused by, a pathogen.
There is no pathogen it is more on undifferentiated or cancerous cells.
its a virus
Cancer is not caused by a pathogen, it is caused by a mutated cell which multiplies to create more mutated cells and so on.
There is for at least one form of cancer. Human papilloma virus (hpv) is sexually transmitted, and can cause some forms of cancer.
leukemia is not a pathogen but rather a form of cancer that affects the bone marrow/blood. Basically it causes rapid production of immature white blood cells.that are not effective in providing immunity
no you cant it is in your body and is not contagious
A carcinogen is an agent that causes cancer.
HPV stands for human papillomavirus. HPV is a virus.
An 'avirulent' pathogen is a pathogen which is not virulent.This is similar to 'atypical' which means 'not typical'
The dimention
Technically a 'pathogen' IS measels. A pathogen is a fancy name for Bacteria. And a pathogen is a bacteria that IS a certin disease. Hencforth, the answer to your question would be measles IS its own pathogen.
pathogen means microorganism, so pathogen diseases means diseases caused by microorganisms
