What do you tell a doctor when you might have skin cancer?
You make an appointment with him and let him decide if it's skin cancer and go from there.

Cancer cells are typically prevented from doing more harm to the body by being excised surgically, killed with chemotherapy, radiation, or photodynamic therapy.
Why might it be beneficial for your heart to beat more quickly during the fight or flight response?
adrenaline is released into the bloodstream
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.
Cancer is caused when cells grow abnormally and divide in an uncontrolled manner How might a mutagen cause cancer?
A mutagen could change a gene that tells a cell when to stop growing.
Can white blood cells kill cancer?
There isn't a visible imune response to cancer, so it might not even attack them. I'm not sure, but if I had to take a guess I'd say it was because cancer cells are taken as normal cells, according to the imune system. Anyway, I remind you, this isn't based on anything, just my general knowledge. Edit: Besides this, there might be also more possible explanations: The imune response is centered at lymph vessels and normally, to kill a virus, leukocytes take the virus to the vessels. Since cancer cells can't change place, they can't be taken there. More, according to my father, they are too many to be killed easily.
What radioactive particle is used to cure cancer?
A cancer cell contains high amounts of iron, that's why they grow so fast.When you radiate them by bombarding them with radio waves the iron in the cells heat up quickly and destroy the cancer cells, but this also affects the other parts in the body like the head, that's why your hair falls out when you get the treatment done a few times. I hope this answer has been of much use.
Why might a doctor be concerned to find cancer cells in patients blood?
They would be concerned because that is how cancer cells spread to other organs in your body and if it starts to grow on your spine or your spinal cord then there is nothing much a doctor can do to stop the cancer.
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.
If you have cancer in your penis would it need to be removed?
If a person has a cancerous tumor in their penis, the tumor might have to be removed. Another option is chemotherapy, that would attempt to kill the cancer cells and stop them from reproducing.
Explain why stem cells can duplicate whereas cheek cells can't?
Because it cheek cells don't have the right DNA/BACTERIA
How might the relationship between cancer and the cell cycle be used in the search for causes of cancer?
Because cancer cells grow rapidly and use the "machinery" and the immune systems of the body, the cure for cancer may lay in the interruption of cell growth and genetic alteration of the immune system.
