Cancer cells have the ability to create their own blood supply and they can break away from this original mass of cells, travel through the blood and lymph systems, and lodge in other organs where they can again repeat the uncontrolled growth cycle which lead to life threatening conditions. Death occurs predominantly from organ damage caused by local growth and metastases to distant anatomic areas.
