Is lung cancer a fungi?
It is not. Lung cancer, as with any cancer, is caused by a cell losing control of itself and continuously dividing. You get large, worthless, and sometimes harmful groups of cells replacing the good ones. Of course, all cancers are harmful. The sometimes harmful here is referring to cells which actually damage other cells instead of just rapidly multiplying and ousting the good cells.
Why are cancer cells harmful to the body?
Cancer cells are harmful to the body because they grow uncontrollably, invade surrounding tissues, and can spread to other parts of the body, disrupting normal bodily functions and potentially causing organ failure.
How do you think cancer cells differ from normal cells?
Cancer cells differ from normal cells in several ways. They grow and divide uncontrollably, ignore signals that tell them to stop growing, and can invade nearby tissues. Additionally, cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, a process known as metastasis. These differences make cancer cells harmful to the body and difficult to treat.
What do cancer cells that metastasize lack?
Cancer cells lack the appropriate response to stop growing...something known as cell recognition. Most cells stop growth when they come in contact with one another, but cancer cells do not. This is why they are so harmful.
How are cancer cells different from normal cells in the body?
Cancer cells are different from normal cells in the body because they grow and divide uncontrollably, ignore signals to stop growing, and can invade nearby tissues. They also have the ability to spread to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis. These differences make cancer cells harmful and potentially life-threatening.
Can chemotherapy be more harmful than cancer?
Well, at most times the chemo is ment to help, but its not 100% sure it kills only the cancer cells.

So at my point it depends.

How do you know if you have cancer cells in your body?
Cancer cells are a natural occurrence in the human body, so everybody has them. This does not mean they are harmful or active, they only cause cancer in over abundance or if chemically activated somehow.
When cancer cells invade other cells and tissues in the body the cancer is said to have done what?
When cancer cells invade other cells and tissues in the body, the cancer is said to have metastasized. This means that the cancer has spread from its original location to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Metastasis is a key factor in determining the stage and prognosis of the cancer.
Why does your hair fall out after chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy is used to fight the cancer cells, but in the process it can also be harmful to other cells in your body that these drugs mistake for cancer cells. The way chemotherapy works is that it targets whatever cells are rapidly dividing. For this reason, the cells in your body that make hair grow so fast get harmed along with the cancer cells. Fortunately, the cells that produce your hair ca eventually go back to normal and your hair growth will resume again.
How are cancer cells diffrent from other cells?
Cancer cells are different because they keep rapidly growing even when they come together.
