Cancer patients may experience constant and unpleasant itchiness. In some cases, their skin can become dry and red. These side effects can be due to chronic renal disease or liver disease, or be part of a reaction to chemotherapy drugs

Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. There they can start to grow into new cells

Cancers are named according to where they first started developing. For example, if you have bowel cancer that has spread to the liver, it's called bowel cancer with liver metastases or secondaries. It is not  called liver cancer and so as

The spread of cancer from where it started to another place is called metastasis. No matter where else in the body it spreads, a cancer is still named for the place it originated

Cancer occurs when there are more abnormal cells than the immune system can handle. Instead of dying, abnormal cells continue to grow and divide, piling up in the form of tumors. Eventually, that out-of-control growth causes the abnormal cells to invade surrounding tissues

As a cancerous tumor grows, the bloodstream or lymphatic system may carry cancer cells 

to other  parts of the body. During this process, known as metastasis, the cancer cells grow  

and may develop into new tumor 

One of the first places a cancer often spreads is to the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are tiny, bean  shaped organs that help fight infection. They are located in clusters in different parts of the body, such as the neck, groin area, and under the arms

Cancer cells don’t respond to signals telling them it’s time to die, so they continue rapidly dividing and multiplying. And they’re very good at hiding from the immune system
