Edit: I think I hit a lot of nerve on some people but here is my thinking, a cancer acts like a single cell because the very first cell stops functioning with the benefit of the host it's more into itself. Some cancer will live outside the body can be cut and still multiply ain't that a behavior of a single cell? E.g. Henrietta Lacks another is CTVT.

One of the primary features of malignancy is angiogenesis. It's a conversion of host tissue to parasite.
