Cancer remains one of the most challenging diseases to treat, but why is it so difficult to kill? In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy explains how cancer begins, the body’s natural defenses against it, and the factors that increase the risk of cancer development.

Using cadavers from the lab, we’ll uncover how cancer impacts the body, the difference between benign and malignant tumors, and the devastating process of metastasis. Learn about the role of carcinogens, genetic predispositions, and the battle between cancer cells and healthy cells. Plus, we’ll discuss how chemotherapy works and its effects on the body.
