Where are the immovable joints found in the human body?

The immovable joints in the human body are the cranial bones. They are separate bones that are sutured together as a person grows. They do not move, and therefore are immovable joints.


Is breast cancer infectious?

Not likely in any feasible method. The best way to put it is that it would be rather difficult to become infected by another individual with cancer. There is a phenomenon called metastasis. Only malignant tumor cells and infections have the established capacity to metastasize. Essentially what occurs is that cancer cells can "break away", "leak", or "spill" from a primary tumor, enter lymphatic and blood vessels, circulate through the bloodstream, and settle down to grow within normal tissues elsewhere in the body. When tumor cells metastasize, the new tumor is called a secondary or metastatic tumor, and its cells are like those in the original tumor. This means, for example, that, if breast cancer metastasizes to the lungs, the secondary tumor is made up of abnormal breast cells, not of abnormal lung cells. The tumor in the lung is then called metastatic breast cancer, not lung cancer. Although metastasis only refers to within an individual (i.e. infectious spread of cancer cells within their own body), it is completely conceivable that by taking up the metastatic cancerous cells into a syringe and injecting them into another immuno-compromised individual, that cancer can be spread to that individual. Although this is highly unlikely, it could be spread by shared needles.

Do brain tumors contain only one cell?

It starts as one cell, and grows into a mass of cells that do not stop replicating (this is the growth of a tumor). Tumors can either be malignant or benign. A tumor is defined as "an abnormal new mass of tissue that serves no purpose" by the Princeton WordNet.


What if you have a tumor in the center of the brain what can be done?

The brain tumor I had was in the center of my brain. It was located just under the optic chiasm. It was a schwannoma brain tumor which only grows on nerves. It was growing off of my optic nerve. The craniotomy removed it, unfortunately there was nerve damage. I cannot open my left eye, which in a way is good, because my eye points all the way to the outer corner. Thank God the tumor was not cancerous.


What is the difference between a tumor that has metastasized and one that hasn't?

When a tumor has not metastasized, it is growing in only one location. A tumor that has metastasized becomes many tumors growing in many locations, and furthermore, this is a continuing process by which the cancer takes over more and more of the body.
