What is cancer ?

The lack of water...

A miserable pile of cells.

an organic system that has lost control of its cells. you know when you have an arm and it's like "yeah it's on the right spot" but then you wake up and you're like "why is there a kidney growing on my shoulder"? that's cancer because the kidney cell tissue wasn't supposed to be triggered at that spot or at that time. stuff like that was supposed to be when you were a fetus and inside your lower ribcage. when your cells get the wrong signals and start to propogate out of control, or when they get the right signal at the wrong time, that's cancer, because cancer in the long run is your genetic code being misaligned in accordance to what our society deems a disorder. in reality, cancer is just part of the natural scheme of things because it prevents species from living long enough to produce genetic copies of itself with inferior survival traits, thereby circumventing functional extinction at the expense of a longer lifespan. it's like a systematic solution to when cells lose their Apoptosis, which can happen because your origin of replication of damaged. Therefore, the real core of cancer is our lifespan being pushed out bounds or genetic mutations.

So cancer is just a social construct ?

>Cell receives DNA damage to genes relating to DNA repair and apoptosis, preventing the cell from repairing future damage or killing itself when it detects it
>Cell receives damage to genes that suppress cellular division, causing the cell to divide at an accelerated rate, forming a tumour
>Further DNA damage can result in changes in the tissue structure, allowing cells to detach from the tumour and spread through the lymphatic system and bloodstream
>Cancer cells lodge in other tissues, forming tumours in other healthy tissue
The damage that cancer causes is through the pressure the tumours create, and through the degradation of tissues surrounding the tumour. Some cancers affect tissues that produce hormones (or other products), and as this function is not disabled in the cancer, more of this is created as the tumour grows larger, causing further complications.

It's in any living human.
Without cancer you would not have been born.

If all your cells got cancer at once, would you just grow into a giant person?

statistically speaking, the chances of all your cells becoming cancerous at the same time is literally 0.

Flat Earth threads. Moon hoax threads. Racism is fine, right? threads.

No, cancer cells don't differentiate properly or make organs and shit. They just make a mass.
