Causes of death from cancer
The extent of damage caused by cancer in the body varies from one patient to another, depending on:
– The patient’s age.
– The patient’s health condition.
– Date of discovery of a malignant tumor.
– The extent of the spread of the malignant tumor in the body.
– Date of starting treatment.
A malignant tumor not only stops the affected organ from performing its vital functions, but also secretes harmful substances that may be transmitted to other organs, such as the heart, lungs, and brain, via lymphocytes and stop them from working.
The type of cancer is also one of the factors that control its complications, which may reach the point of sudden death, as shown below:

– Lung cancer: It is possible that the patient may be at risk of lung failure, which exposes him to the risk of suffocation.
Breast cancer: It may threaten a woman with suffocation if it reaches the lungs, in addition to its effect on the bone marrow and blood.
– Pancreatic cancer: It causes decreased blood circulation, attacks the nerves, and its effect extends to the bones.
– Liver cancer: increases the risk of liver and kidney failure.
