Why can the cancer come back after apparently successful treatment?

Sometimes the cancer can have metastasis (give off a bunch of cells in the circulation), which are not picked up during therapy.
These cells can then start a new cancer somewhere else.
A common example are women who survive breast cancer, and then develop secondary metastatic cancer of the spine.

What if i have breast cancer?
Then I have to give a question back. (Hypothetically) How did you find out you have breast cancer? 1. If your answer is that you self-test by finding a lump on your chest area then the first thing you should do is get a diagnosis from an expert. As much as you want to get treatment as soon as possible.. that is not possible. You still have to have a recommendation from a Doctor to go through cancer treatment. 2. If you found out that you have breast cancer through expert diagnosis then you should then get a 2nd opinion. You have to be 200% - nay - 300% sure that you do have cancer. Cancer treatments are not to be taken lightly. Chemo therapy can damage your system if you're not careful. After all this the next thing you should do is choosing which Cancer Treatment you prefer -- Chemo or Holistic Medicine? or Both? If by chance you decided to cure breast cancer through Holistic Medicine, you have to be 500% sure this time that this is what you want. Not all alternative centers offer the same services, the same goes for Chemo therapies.

Why do you have cancer?
Cancer is a disease caused when cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues. Cancer is caused by changes to DNA. Most cancer-causing DNA changes occur in sections of DNA called genes. Cancer is the name given to a collection of related diseases. In all types of cancer, some of the body’s cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues.Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.When cancer develops, however, this orderly process breaks down. As cells become more and more abnormal, old or damaged cells survive when they should die, and new cells form when they are not needed. These extra cells can divide without stopping and may form growths called tumors.Many cancers form solid tumors, which are masses of tissue. Cancers of the blood, such as leukemias, generally do not form solid tumors.Cancerous tumors are malignant, which means they can spread into, or invade, nearby tissues. In addition, as these tumors grow, some cancer cells can break off and travel to distant places in the body through the blood or the lymph system and form new tumors far from the original tumor. Unlike malignant tumors, benign tumors do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues. Benign tumors can sometimes be quite large, however. When removed, they usually don’t grow back, whereas malignant tumors sometimes do. Unlike most benign tumors elsewhere in the body, benign brain tumors can be life threatening. his is a serious disease that caused,many people to die and suffer miserably but why worry for nothing because nowadays with the new advancements in modern technology we can see if we have or dont have cancer ,even if there is a slight chance of getting cancers there are ways you to know.
