A member asked:
Do carcinoma cells target the most healthy cells or they would prefer to invade weak cells for instance diseased ones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: Different tumors tend to invade different tissues and organs and the reason for such distribution is not known. See this site for more info. http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/sites-types/metastatic.
