what makes cancer cells active?

Question

my friend found out after a neck biopsy, that he has a poorly differentiated carcinoma, metastatic, lymph node.

Answer 1

Blood which contains oxygen is what cancers feed on the more they get the more violent the growth or spread. The cause of a tumor could range from a bump to a malformed gene.

Answer 2

Most cells in our body are capable of reproducing. If you cut yourself, your body heals the cut by growing new skin cells from inside the cut. The cells in your body are "programmed" to stop growing whenever they come into contact with other cells in your body. When the cut has closed up all the way to the surface, the skin cells stop multiplying.

There are many things in our world that can damage a cell and cause genetic mutation. The cell stops working like the cell it is supposed to be and begins to multiply even though there is no reason for it to. Here is an example:

Radiation from the sun can cause a mutation of skin cells. The skin cells stop acting like normal skin cells and start to multiply at a higher rate. What you end up with is a skin cancer that looks like a strange mole.

To specifically answer your quesiton, studies show that MANY things can activate cancer cells. Radiation, UV rays, constant irritation, chemicals, and random mutations can all turn a normal cell, into a cancer cell.

Answer 3

toxins you have choices surgery or chemo. Urologist or oncologist. they work together . One uses chemical treatments the other does surgery's . The surgeons try to remove tumors and then the chemicals get what you cant see. Of course you dont need both all the time but it is worth talking to each to decide what is your best course of action

Answer 4

If you smoke pot maybe?
