Where are cancer cells found in the body?
Cancer cells are found in the affected organ or tissue. There are several types of cancer depending on anatomical location within the body like skin cancer, blood cancer, lung cancer etc. Also it depends on how a particular type of cancer spreads like the Carcinomas spread through lymph so the cancer cells can be found at lymph nodes whereas, the sarcomas spread through blood. Another noteworthy thing is that in the later stages of cancer it can spread to a distant organ and start a secondary cancer in the new location.
Why do Cancer cells in an organ make the organ less efficient?
Cancerous cells are ones that reproduce contantly and ignore apoptosis signals (death signals) to self-destruct, thereby preventing damage and more innefective cells. They do not function correctly, usually from irreperable DNA damage which would normally mean they would perform apoptosis to not cause further harm. Cancerous cells, however, ignore these "death" signals and continue to reproduce, even though they do not function. Enough of these cancerous cells together form a tumor, and tumors on organs can affect the surrounding tissue cells and cause a loss of functional efficiency.
How do cancer cells spread to a new location?
Nearby blood vessels provide nutrients to the tumor and carry cancer cells to new locations.

Why cancer is harmful for other cells?
because the cancer's cell eat the other normal cells. So that make the patient's organ become larger and larger, because the cell grow up uncontrolled
What is the role of the Cytotoxic T-cells?
Cytotoxic T cells destroy cancer cells. The cytoxic T cell comes into contrack with a cancer cell. The T cell recognizes that the cancer cell is "nonself" and causes the destruction of the cancer. Also, they can reject transplants like kidneys, resulting in the attack and destruction of the transplanted organ.
Is the organ passing to the other organ cancer?
90% is a chance of cancer
Which organ makes blood cells?
Blood cells are made in the spleen and in the bone marrow.
What organ stores surplus red blood cells?

Is bone cancer contagious?
No. Cancer is not contagious. Cancer cells from one person are generally unable to live in the body of another healthy person. The healthy person's immune system recognizes the cancer cells and destroys them. There have been a few cases in which organ transplants from people with cancer have been able to cause cancer in the person who got the organ.No, bone cancer is not contagious.
