Essential Questions

Cancer can start mostly everywhere in your body. Cancer happen when your cell starts to go out of control. When this happens, it will be hard to stay in your healthy body. But cancer can also be a good thing because some patients say that after cancer treatment they can mostly live their full life. Did you also know cancer is one of the top 2 dangerous diseases in the global world . It was estimated that over 9.6 million deaths were in 2018. Cancer also happens when old and bad cell grow out of control. These cells do not die and while doing it goes to another level when it becomes something similar to a tissue and we call the tissue a tumor. The name cancer is given by a disease that is related to cancer. Also cancer divide its cell non stop that the cell start to surround the tumor. Cancer is made out of over a trillion cells. Sometimes because of cancer old cell die but when they are still alive then a new cell take their place when they are not truly needed and those new cell grow .

How can cancer impact you and your family?

Cancer can impact their family by getting further from the relationship with your friend. But it can also bring people close also . Do you wonder if your loved ones get cancer? Well you will need to care about your loved ones and you should protect one another. Also, cancer will give you complex feelings. Also, your family relationship will get further not only that it will also give you some potential feeling and it's how life goes. . Some of the feelings can be anxiety, sadness, anger, and stress, it will be a lot of challenges to pass and agree with it. You can also feel worried after and angry. But did you know some people think their guilty? If you are thinking why my topic is about cancer, my grandpa has cancer. First of all, when i heard that my grandpa had cancer i was sad and stressful and also was angry. But now, I am dealing with it for over 5 years. But even though I want to do something about it, i can’t because there is no vaccines or cure so that is why I am doing cancer for exhibition.

Cancer can spread when a cancer cell meets a blood tube inside your body and if reaches the blood tube (cancer cells). It will flow around the blood tube then eventually It will land in a perfect place from where it started. That small cell will divide itself again and again and form a whole new tumor in a whole new place. We also call cancer going one place to another a metastasis . If that happens and keep going it will degenerate your organs it will also have a super good advantage because it can spread really good like Corona virus. A tumor is layered to hold the cells. Do you know why it so hard to remove cancer? Well, it because it can spread anywhere anytime in any location.

Why does cancer spread. in your body.

How does cancer form.

Cancer is made of trillions of trillions of cells. Our cells have the right to do instructions to keep growing and divide and eventually die. But if your DNA in your cells get damaged it will damage your gene. It also will be able to mutate, misunderstood their instruction then our cells will grow out of control and it will starts to divide itself. But as you know, it is not good because it is copy and sub clone of the cells that have damage DNA. If that happens it causes dangerous effects to your body. It starts from a tumor then becomes a cancer .

Cancer causes cells to divide uncontrollably and keeps forming tumors. If you want to remove it, it can change its gene to protect itself if it's in a stage where it will be almost unbeatable sometimes. As the same if cancer is from by DNA damaged but if the DNA can’t be repaired and if you think cure is easy for people well it's hard. People do it when they are super smart that we only made some medicine like stuff that can kill cancer that's is left behind. It also can cause tumors and form a gene pool of itself. There are a lot of reasons that you want to get rid of it. Also, don’t forget cancer can spread and it can also cause new tumors. If you have that for a long time, your organs will eventually die, causing cancer to spread all over your body, and it will degenerate your organs.

Why is cancer so deadly and important to get rid of?

HI everyone, did you wonder why cancer is so important that you need to know about it. Well today I will tell what cancer does to your body. Cancer can close some bloodstreams that cause cancer spread to bloodstreams. Do you guys know about the lymphatic systems? If you don't, it is a stream where It breaks down bacteria but cancer can also start a tumor there. It can also make your immune system weak. An immune system is also something that breaks down bacteria and other stuff that is bad for your body. Did you also know if have and you get cancer treatments your hormones levels will change? Also, some treatments can destroy cancer but it also destroys other cell not only cancer cells. If you get a huge bump in your head there's a chance you to get cancer. I know one fact and that if cancer goes to your lung (example) and it a 100% takes over your lung. It will be hard to breath or degenerate your lung and this can happen anywhere in your body .

What does cancer do to your body?

Cancer has the ability to evolve mechanisms to protect it self on earth. It can evolve and evolve for the rest of the life time. But if you have parts where it hurts in your DNA, you cannot repair it. That is why cancer Is so dangerous at the same time but also good sometimes because people that go through cancer lives almost the rest of their life. Cancer is almost unbeatable if its metastasize. We do have a vaccine, but it also kill other cells. Cancer can also protect itself by changing its genes. If there's one cancer it can grow and we call it a sub clone. There can be a lot like sub clone A and sub clone B and if you kill one sub clone it won’t affect other clone so you need to repeat, but it can still grow. I have one fact and it spreads fast. So if you take out one tumor you can take out one more tumor and i will tell you that later. this later thank you for your attention.

Why is cancer so hard to get remove?

It is risky to get cancer if you use poll indicate 89% not smoking 66% eating fruit and vegetable 50% and tobacco use 78% sun exposure 66%.
