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.


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.


What is atypical cells?

Atypical cells are cells that appear to be abnormal and need further testing to determine why they are abnormal. Sometimes these cells can end up being cancer but not all atypical cells will.

How can you get feet cancer?

You can have cancer anywhere there are cells; where there are cells, there is a possibility of a mutation that causes cancer.


Why do cancer cells need so much blood?

Cancer cells don't need much more blood than any other cell - the problem is when there is a collection of cancer cells in a tumor. The tumor as a whole is rapidly dividing (usually), so it needs a great deal of energy and nutrients to do that. Nutrients are brought into the body's tissues by circulating blood, which is why many tumors develop angiogenesis properties (the ability to create new blood vessels).


What is pre cancer cells?

pre cancer cells are cells with an abnormal appearance suggestive of an increased cancer risk. These cells are not cancerous by themselves alone.


Are there Golgi cells in cancer cells?

yes certain cancers contain golgi cells such as the colon cancer cell and also the breast cancer cells


Why do cancer cells have ribosomes in them?

Cancer cells, like all cells, need ribosomes to produce proteins necessary for their growth and survival. Ribosomes are essential cellular organelles that synthesize proteins by translating mRNA into amino acid sequences necessary for cell function and proliferation. Despite their dysregulated growth, cancer cells require ribosomes to support their uncontrolled division and metabolism.
