Re: [cancercured] Where do tumors go when they die?

Most therapies destroy cancer cells outright, either by activating immune
system cells or by directly obliterating them (drugs, radiation, radio
waves, enzymes etc etc). The dead cells and debris are elimated through all
the usual channels... as long as they are working OK.

So I guess dead cells could stick around if the immune system scavengers are
not up to scratch and if blood flow and lymph drainage is not efficient, or
if the liver is not working well.

Normally white blood cells "eat" dead or dying cells in a process known as
phagocytosis, breaking them into small bits which they then expel for
elimination. Enormous amounts of metabolic wastes can be produced when the
body starts breaking down a tumour, which is why many alternative cancer
treatments ue coffee enemas to stimulate efficient liver and gallbladder
function, which helps deal with the toxins.

Although tumour shrinkage is often a goal of conventional treatment, it is
more important to stop cancer cells spreading. The question I'd like
answered is whether it is possible that the cells are NOT dying while the
tumour is shrinking.
