Do insects get cancer?

I don't think they live long enough to get cancer, the average house fly only lives for 17 days, but who knows? maybe they do, I just don't think anyone out there is doing any studies on it

Cancer is an erosion of the genes.. its when free radicals attack the molecular structure of cells and eventually destroy the cell.. it can attack any part of the body but I would say it must come through the blood or vital organs.. which process/carry foods.. I believe cancer is created from ingestion of free radical and toxic additives and preservatives.. apart from the obvious like asbestos which breaks up and then spears the tissue until it bleeds internally and becomes infected then cancerous.. or simply blocks the lungs which become clogged with mucos.. \n\noverall i strongly feel an anti-oxidant rich diet will help heal and avoid cancer.. i am about to go on a major detox.. and a friend of mine is a therapist.. he discovered a herb.. which is currently being "investigated" and tested.. but he claims he administered in trails to numerous patients.. some were completely healed others who were terminal had lengthy life entensions and no pain.. this plant is known to the aboriginal people.. who never get cancer incidently.. look into this.. i cant say the name- my mate will kill me.. but it is found in mercury rich soil.. i know that much.. and is a dar k green plant found in the desert which is very anti-oxidant rich.. a short leafy plant..  there is a simular plant recently discovered in africa too.. and a lot of new herbs and plants are now being checked out.. hopefuly theres still some left to discover.. maybe we should ask the aboriginals .. they might have all the cures we want.. if we listen to them..

Cancer looks like a spider. That's why it's named Cancer. Anyways, if you want to know how cancer actually happens I'll fill you in: You see if in some part of your body cell division gets out of control and too much Mitosis happens( mitosis is the sort of cell division that cells have but meiosis only happens in sexual organs) all the cells that are produces will start making a tumor. So, if this tumor is not that dangerous nothing will really happen. Although if it's not a good tumor, after a while the membrane of that tumor will tare apart and the cells will go to an organ of your body (where they are) and make the cancer although if they enter your blood things will get really dirty and they can go to all your organs.

i would say yes, we just don't call it cancer.  like then a plant has a fungus or a moiser problem.

yes they can...it is disgusting, but possible.\n\nIf you fear that a bug may have laid eggs beneath your skin see a doctor before it matures.

you can get cancer without ever smoking or chewing.  you dont have any more to worry about than before your risky adventure.  Short term usage has only been known to cause retracted testicles.

I asked the same question because I just had one. They said yes because you can still get vaginal cancer and ovarian cancer.

it doesnt mater where they came from they will be effected the same wherever they go if they are exposed to the same amount of sun. skin cancer does happen to black people but it is much more common in whites. blacks do have a little bit better protection but the main reason that skin cancer is more common in whites is that they are always trying to tan themselves.

NO,  \nBUT WAIT IT DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF CANCER !!!

natural selection would prevent that from happening.\n\nnaturally, those without cancer would have a much greater chance of surviving and reproducing.  those who have cancer, or are somehow "born" with it, are much less likely to survive and carry on their genes.

depends on the type of cancer, it is a disease and can come in lots of different areas of the body.

A cancer-causing substance or agent is a carcinogen.

its just a rumor. Magnetism does not induce cancer. We live in a polarised world with a magnetic north and south.

All mammals can get cancer so the beluga whale is no different. Cancer is when something goes wrong with cell division.
