Why are the scientists not being able to stop the cancer cell from travelling from one part of the body to another.

you have trillions of cells and cancer cells have very few biochemical differences from a normal cell that we've figured out how to exploit so its pretty tough to make a drug that will selectively target a cancer cell and not kill healthy cells. they had a little success with hormone dependant tumors like certain breast cancers, but that's about it

The scientists have not even discovered what actually causes cancer, as there are so many different causes in each case. Every cancer sufferer's case history is unique.

Whilst I cannot answer your specific enquiry in medical terms, I am sorry, I can offer a different view on cancer if you are open to its wider interpretation, and as related to not just the body, but also to the mind and the Soul.

It can be found in "Dhaxem and Cancer" on the Dhaxem website.

See How to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine by Michael Murray for an excellent discussion of this topic.

because the process in which the cancer cells are originating and spreading in the body is still unknown

that is always the goal of therapy, chemotherapy and radiation treatment as appropriate..and the reason for these is basically to prevent metastasis. more often, people leave their symptoms until its too late that...cancer ahd metastasized already...or there's no obvious symptoms until it is in the late stages....

By the time one has symtoms it is usually too late. it has spread.

Do you think they can't or that they don't?
