Five things I learned about cancer:
1.) Cancer cells form from regular cells.
2.) Cancer isn't confined to one area of the body at a time; it can travel. (metastasis)
3.) Not all tumors are cancerous. The the difference is whether they are benign or malignant.
4.) Cancer usually comes from a persons choice to live an unhealthy life. (junk food, lazy, smoking, etc.)
5.) The immune system can't help fight cancer.
Two questions that I still have about cancer are:
1.) Can cancer occur in every organ in the human body? (i.e. the eye)
2.) Can injuries/stress cause cancer?
One thing I liked about the cancer unit is I learned a lot about how cancer forms and progresses.
One thing I disliked about the cancer unit is we had to work in teams that we weren't able to choose.
