Cancer cells and how they affect our body and how to detect them

Overview

Research about cancer and/or making a simulation about cancer cells or making a program that can detect cancer cells from an image input

Problem

The problem that I am going to present is not really a problem but what cancer actually is and how can we use that knowledge to actually try to find cures for them. It's a lot about lung cancer and what lung cancer and cancer in general can can do to the growth of a human being.

Method

No method really but for coding I am using visual studio code to code either a simulation of something that actually detects cancer cells.

1. Get VS code 2. Connect VS code to the terminal 3. Code the simulation 4. Problem solve with the simulation

Analysis

I analayzed the coding simulations and found the cancer cells hijack the human body and take control of the human body causing uncontrollable proliferation of abnormal cells that invade tissues and steal the nutrients.

Conclusion

The conclusion is that, the cancer cells that spread through our body can cause an uncontrollable growth and rapid spreading of cancer cells if not treated.
