Is prostate cancer terminal when it reaches the bone?
When any type of cancer metastasizes and spreads to the bone or other organs, this is very serious. Only a trained doctor who looks at the pathology of patient who has cancer that has spread to the bone can make such a diagnosis.
Which skin cancer is at risk for metastasis?
All skin cancers have the potential to metastasize but melanoma is the most likely to spread or metastasize to other parts of the body. Squamous cell is the next most likely to spread. Basal cell rarely metastasizes.
How is breast cancer caused?
Breast cancer is caused by cells that lose control over how fast they replicate. Cancer cells divide quickly and rapidly, and they can invade surrounding tissues. Cancer cells can also travel to lymph nodes and to other sites in the body.
What are the conditions of the patient at last stage of brain cancer?

Explain why cancer cells need a greater blood supply than normal cells?
the cancer cells need to grow very rapidly for which they need a lot of blood. (i think) they can form new blood vessels anywhere in the body to ensure that they get blood, this is known as angiogenesis.
Do people live through melanoma?
If it is caught in it's early stages, then the skin cancer may be removed. If it is removed before it spreads or metastasizes, then your chances of survival are good. Be sure to get screening done regularly, especially if you have had any type of cancer before or aif you have a family history of cancer.
What kind of cancer is skin cancer?
There are many different types of skin cancer. I suggest you do a search for "different kinds of skin cancer" to find out about all the different types.
What does it mean when a cancer metastasizes?
Metastatic cancer is not a type of cancer, it is a stage of the disease, a late stage. Most cancer types can form new tumours in the body, like a weed sends its seeds in the wind to sprout into more weeds. The new tumours are called "metastases". Metastatic cancer is cancer that has already started this seeding-out process. The first place where cancer metastasizes is in the lymph nodes. Later, it can go to the liver, the lungs, the bones, in fact just about anywhere. For a person with cancer, knowing if there are metastases or not is very important because it is a sign that the cancer is aggressive. Cancer without metastases is often curable but metastatic cancer is usually not curable.
