Cancer cells are cells that grow and divide at an unregulated, quickened pace. Although cancer cells can be quite common in a person they are only malignant when the other cells (particularly natural killer cells) fail to recognize and/or destroy them. In the past a common belief was that cancer cells failed to be recognized and destroyed because of a weakness in the immune system.

And if the immune system can’t stop it it will kill the body.
That’s the stupidity of a cancer not realising it needs the body.
Of course the cancer will tell you that you would not survive without it.

The Wikipedia definition doesn’t go far enough. A cancer cell is one which 1) grows independently of any regulatory mechanisms that control the multiplication/division of normal cells, 2) invades beyond any tissue boundaries that would normally keep it in check locally, and 3) can spread to and set up growth at sites distant from the original (primary) tumor, i.e., metastasize. The best way to treat a cancer is to catch it as early as possible when it is small, before it involves surrounding tissues and makes its way to other sites.
Obamacare still can be treated.
If only Obamacare would be the problem.
