Can you get cancer from cancer?

Answer:
Yes, cancer cells can leave the tumor, enter the bloodstream, and end up somewhere else in the body where they form a completely new tumor (this is known as metastasis). For example, if a person had lung cancer, the cancer could form new tumors in the brain, or digestive system. Even when new tumors form, the cancer is still named by its origin, so it would still be called lung cancer.
