Yes cancer cells are dangerous. Malignant cancer cells are the most dangerous as they can replicate and move to different parts of the body. Benign cancer cells are far less dangerous and don't replicate or move around the body.

The most deadly property of cancer cells is their ability to spread and metastasize.


Do b cells destroy cancer cells?

B cells play a role in the immune response against cancer by producing antibodies that can help target cancer cells for destruction by other immune cells. They do not directly destroy cancer cells themselves, but help to coordinate the immune system's response against cancer.


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.


Why radioactivity can cure some type of cancer?

The radiation itself is not the cure. Radioactive radiation is dangerous and kills cells and potentially causes cancer. The radiation is used to kill the cells comprising the cancer (and some of the cells round the cancer). The treatment is very brutal (it makes the patient very ill for a time) but, where the cancer can not be cut out surgically the radiation beams can sometimes be used and in this case, while using them is dangerous, their use can be beneficial in the long run.

Why do many cancers harm the body?

Cancer is a cell mutation where the cell reproduces rapidly and too much. Then those new cells become cancer cells and continue to split out of control. Yet, the body does not need so many of one type of cell so quickly. The cancer cells are large in quantity and take over that area, causing pressure on other normal healthy cells. Those tissues are overthrown by the cancer ones and it off-sets the balance of the body. This is dangerous because you need a specific amount of everything in your body to work, so you have many cancer cells and less of the healthy cells and can be very hazardous to countless of daily functions necessary to life. There really is only one Cancer, and that's just cancer, no matter where it is in your body. It just affects different cells. i.e.- Lung cancer is a mutation in lung cells, and Brain cancer is a mutation in brain cells. The only two categories cancer is divided into generally are malignant and benign. Malignant cancer will carry the cancerous cells by the bloodstream to other parts of the body, and the cancer will then affect that spot as well. This cancer is slightly more dangerous than benign cancer, which will only stay in the organ where it first started and will not travel through the body.

How do you think cancer cells differ from normal cells in terms of their growth and behavior?

Cancer cells differ from normal cells in their growth and behavior because they divide uncontrollably, ignore signals to stop growing, and can invade surrounding tissues. They also have the ability to spread to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis. These characteristics make cancer cells dangerous and difficult to treat compared to normal cells, which grow and divide in a controlled manner.
