      Cancer cells are cells in which the DNA has become mutated/changed. DNA is the code or blueprint that tells our cells how to function. Mutations in DNA can make cells behave in a way that enables them to grow more than normal cells, make more cells, evade death, and be able to move and invade other parts of the body.
