Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of cancer: Entropy dynamics and metastatic growth.
Summary: Cancer acts like a machine that runs hot and creates a lot of chaos, which scientists call "entropy." Normal cells are orderly, but cancer cells create more and more disorder as they grow and spread. Scientists looked at how cancer starts, grows, and moves to other parts of the body (a process called metastasis). They found that as cancer cells multiply, they make even more chaos. Even if you try to starve the cancer by cutting off its energy supply, it keeps growing anyway. This means cancer is very stubborn, and spreading to other organs is just a natural, unstoppable part of how it creates disorder.
