I’ve seen questions very similar to this, which is no problem, its a very popular topic! Cancer is a cell in the body that loses control and goes nuts! A bit like dominos falling, it just spreads out of control. The thing is its not always the cancer cells that does the damage, its the fact that it just stops the body from doing what it should be doing and that’s what really does the damage.
Additionally it is dangerous because its never just one type, there’s hundreds of different types which affect the different organs and body systems. Of course there is always the issue of trying to catch it in time, some internal cancers where you don’t necessarily see or feel symptoms can be fatal. Pancreatic cancer is a good example. Usually when people get that, you’re incredibly fortunate to survive.

Chris explains it really well- it’s dangerous because it spreads quickly, so doctors have to remove all the cancer cells so that it doesn’t come back again, or come back in a different part of your body.
