Question 9

will the cancer spread to other parts of my body?

Accepted Answer

We hope not.: What makes a cancer "evil" is the ability of cancer cells to travel outside of the organ where they arose and take over another organ; this is how cancer can be life-threatening.  In advanced cases of cancer, we can identify these "invaders", but most often, these cells are present but undetectable.  The stage of the cancer gives us an estimate of this probability, leading to the rec for chemorx.

Question 10

please suggest what type of cancer cannot spread?

Accepted Answer

All cancers spread: Some at a fast rate , even basal cell cancer of skin may not spread to distant organs but spread to adjacent structures , by eroding through. Only benign tumors do not spread to other organs but still its location as brain may cause serious problems.
