Cancer cells are found in the affected organ or tissue. There are several types of cancer depending on anatomical location within the body like skin cancer, blood cancer, lung cancer etc. Also it depends on how a particular type of cancer spreads like the Carcinomas spread through lymph so the cancer cells can be found at lymph nodes whereas, the sarcomas spread through blood. Another noteworthy thing is that in the later stages of cancer it can spread to a distant organ and start a secondary cancer in the new location.

When cancer cells invade other cells and tissues in the body the cancer is said to have done what?
Metastasized.
Abnormal multiplication of the body's cells?
Cancer!! :(
Do you have dormant cancer cells in your body?
One could argue that all body cells can potentially become cancerous and therefore they are all dormant cancer cells. But by that definition, a dormant cancer cell is just a normal, healthy cell.
What are bad cells?
Bad cells are actually cells that do harm to your body. They are kind of like cancer cells.

No, cancer cells express self antigens, so your body cannot recognize it as foreign or dangerous.
Why can't cancer cells get cancer?
Cancer cells are already cancer, it is redundant for a cancer cell to get cancer, however, it is true that cancer cells can die, for various reasons. The reason why cancer is so dangerous to the body is that cancer receives all the same support that healthy cells receive, and is not attacked by the immune system. The body takes care of its own cells; the blood supplies all the needs of cellular metabolism. That makes it easy for cells to survive. So even though cancer cells are abnormal and dysfunctional, they can usually survive because it is easy for them to do so.
