	*Or, you get malignant tumors, the "proper" cancers by definition, which are basically the cellular equivalents to [[Zombie Plague\|plague zombies]]. They tend to spread ''far'' beyond the tumor's original location, develop further mutations that allow them to bypass the immune system and can force the growth of new blood vessels to provide them with oxygen and nutrients (the name "cancer" comes from the shape of these abnormal blood vessels, which resemble crab claws). Malignant tumors are hard as balls to remove (since the cancer cells can travel through lymphatic vessels to create new tumors elsewhere even after the original tumor is dealt with) unless you know what you're doing and nigh impossible to get rid of outside hospital settings. Doctors can catch cancer early and give you medicine to kill it off (which causes a lot of collateral damage since the drugs are geared to kill ''all'' cells that divide rapidly, which includes a lot of cells that you generally need- for example, the ones that produce hair or line your intestines, hence the hair loss and nausea/vomiting that occur as common side effects of chemotherapy), or [[Exterminatus]] cancer via radiation therapy (which might induce mutations in other cells and has similar downsides to chemotherapy) or surgery (which doesn't always remove all of the cancer if parts of it are too small to see and might not be possible to remove if the cancer is so big that it can't be taken out without critically damaging the organ it's attached to in the process). When 4chan says "something" is cancer, this is the type of tumor that particular "something" is compared to. Needless to say, it's also the kind of tumor that's most likely to kill people.		*Or, you get malignant tumors, the "proper" cancers by definition, which are basically the cellular equivalents to [[Zombie Plague\|plague zombies]].

	Sometimes, benign tumors become malignant through a process called tumor progression that causes them to mutate further, and yes this includes those moles, where something tricks your body into grafting a blood vessel or two onto the once-harmless growth to let it grow faster, or the tumor snags another defect that allows it to cut loose and move beyond what was otherwise a relatively confined space. Going back to the 4chan analogy, what was once properly contained might spread out to other threads or boards either because of trolls, newfags, or current events just allowing them to spiral out of control. Conversely, a malignant tumor might generate a mutation that ''neuters'' it instead, either stopping its growth ~~dead in its tracks~~ or even sending it into remission. If we were to take the 4chan analogy again, this would mean some undesirable meme ends up stopping dead in its tracks for whatever reason rather than simply withering away, allowing for swift containment.

	Sometimes, however, [[Not as planned\|a dying cell gives death the middle finger and decides to persist]], often due to a mutation that stops the cell from [[Blam]]ming itself once it picks up one too many defects. And then it multiplies, squatting on valuable real estate in your body.

And then it multiplies, squatting on valuable real estate in your body while picking up even more mutations. Before you know it, one of two things happen;
	*You either get a benign tumor, which grows and grows without invading its neighbors or is successfully contained by your body, but crowds out vital shit, and can be cumbersome and/or ugly if its big enough to show from outside. The moles that dot your skin are such an example;		*You either get a benign tumor, which grows and grows without invading its neighbors or is successfully contained by your body, but crowds out vital shit, and can be cumbersome and/or ugly if its big enough to show from outside.

	*Or, you get malignant tumors, the "proper" cancers by definition, which are basically the cellular equivalents to [[Zombie Plague\|plague zombies]]. And malignant ones are hard as balls to remove unless you know what you're doing and nigh impossible to get rid of outside hospital settings. Doctors can catch cancer early and give you medicine to ~~keep the cancer away~~ (which causes a lot of collateral damage), or [[Exterminatus]] cancer via radiation therapy (which might induce mutations in other cells~~, essentially creating "new" tumors if your luck is bad~~) or surgery (which ~~might make~~ the cancer ~~spread to other~~ parts of the ~~body~~). When 4chan says "something" is cancer, this is the type of tumor that particular "something" is compared to.		*Or, you get malignant tumors, the "proper" cancers by definition, which are basically the cellular equivalents to [[Zombie Plague\|plague zombies]]. And malignant ones are hard as balls to remove (since the cancer cells can travel through lymphatic vessels to create new tumors elsewhere even after the original tumor is dealt with) unless you know what you're doing and nigh impossible to get rid of outside hospital settings. Doctors can catch cancer early and give you medicine to kill it off (which causes a lot of collateral damage since the drugs are geared to kill all cells that divide rapidly, which includes a lot of cells that you generally need- for example, the ones that produce hair or line your intestines, hence the hair loss and nausea/vomiting that occur as common side effects), or [[Exterminatus]] cancer via radiation therapy (which might induce mutations in other cells and has similar downsides to chemotherapy) or surgery (which doesn't always remove all of the cancer if parts of it are too small to see and might not be possible if the cancer is so big that it can't be removed without critically damaging the organ it's attached to). When 4chan says "something" is cancer, this is the type of tumor that particular "something" is compared to.

	Sometimes, benign tumors become malignant ~~for no reason~~ through a process called tumor progression, and yes this includes those moles, where something tricks your body into grafting a blood vessel or two onto the once-harmless growth, or the tumor snags another defect that allows it to cut loose. Going back to the 4chan analogy, what was once properly contained might spread out to other threads or boards either because of trolls, newfags, or current events just allowing them to spiral out of control.		Sometimes, benign tumors become malignant through a process called tumor progression that causes them to mutate further, and yes this includes those moles, where something tricks your body into grafting a blood vessel or two onto the once-harmless growth, or the tumor snags another defect that allows it to cut loose and move beyond what was otherwise a relatively confined space. Going back to the 4chan analogy, what was once properly contained might spread out to other threads or boards either because of trolls, newfags, or current events just allowing them to spiral out of control.
