📌 Why do advanced cancers lead to organ failure?​
It’s not always the cancer itself that causes death. In many cases, it’s the way cancer cells spread. These cells move from the original site to vital organs like the liver, lungs, bones and brain. As they invade, they gradually damage and shut down organ function.​

Over time, some cancer cells become resistant to treatment. They keep growing and destroying healthy tissue, making therapies less effective. This ultimately results in complete organ failure, which is often the true cause of death in advanced-stage cases.​

🧠 Understanding this process helps guide earlier diagnosis and better care.​
