Does cancer hurt?

Answer by  Anonymous

Cancer is basically cells growing abnormally fast and large. When these cells are growing around nerve cells or endings, it results in pain. Cancer cells not around nerve cells do not cause pain. However, cancer spreads and eventually will reach a nerve causing pain sooner or later.

Well it depends on the cancer in question. Some cancer do hurt and some don't. For example oral cancer is initially painless but as i gets to later stages it starts to hurt. Similar thing can apply to just about any cancer.
