Complex stop using cancer like this, it is a serious problem, how would you like if you are painfully dying and I act like that doesn't matter and just make jokes about it?

this is why i love scishow. as i clicked my thought process was "huh? no. maybe cervical cancer?" it was really interesting to hear that it does happen in some species and that there really are freak accidents.

This turned out to be a really fascinating episode in a lot of ways I didn't expect when I decided to watch it! Thanks for making it!

About a year ago I was down at a nearby river on a hot summer day catching fish. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I caught cancer. Sneaky little bugger pinched it's claw on a fish and didn't want to let go! So I took him home and ever since then, I had a cancer. Or crab, if you don't like latin and don't care about the genus name of the species. He's so funny and lovely, best pet I've ever had! Oh, wait, we're talking about catching a different type of cancer, don't we? Damn... And I wanted to keep on going and tell you about the time I was catching lobsters in the ocean and caught this massive guy that nearly punctured through my toe with his claw... :( #Kappa

@SciShow Thankyou so much for answering my question, it has been insightful and Im pleased to receive your swift response. You're my hero, Hank Green!

poor taz, no more tornados

So I was watching this video and just taking in all this information and it occurred to me that it was a tiny little portion of the medical knowledge regarding these topics, and it made me realize how much work had to be done to discover these things. It's incredible.

how can someone dislike this ?? .... really, how, the info was informative, the way it was presented was easy to follow, it dealt with a topic of concern and one we know about all too well .... how can you dislike this for fucks sake ?!

i dont know about you but if someone came to learn about cancer and disliked it knowing (im pretty sure they knew) what the video is about and there is only so many ways a video would be so god awful you felt the need to dislike it, but this one dosent seem to, it may not have gone into full detail on the subject but im guessing they would expect you to do research on it, nothing wrong with that, so yes im pretty baffled, if anyone has any legitimate complaints i dont mind if you tell me them, other than a biased reason, perhaps thats what im dealing with here

this was the most interesting video I’ve ever seen for a long time, it was serious yet intriguing, no silly jokes, no monotonous ramblings, just pure fact after fact that kept me engaged. Well done sci show! He’s my favorite one on this and its related channel’s. The others sound obnoxious sometimes, make weird silly jokes, or scream a bit when trying to making a point.

leaving a pleasant comment... I just want to say that I enjoy scishow very much, even though I rarely leave comments and I'm sorry for other people being jerks

Another great episode as always, also nice shirt hank :)

Another STD that links to cancers is HIV. it's similar to the kaposi sarcoma, but it's called Plasmablastic Lymphoma. it's what I've been dealing with since last December. Its extremely aggressive, and fairly rare, with less than 300 case reports from 2000-2013.

pretty sure this episode was inspired by Smarter Every Day

Even if you were going by the Bible you'd know that history was longer than 2015 (well 17 now) years. After all there were plenty of people in there thousands of years before Jesus showed up. Some of them lived that long, so there's your proof that you got it wrong no matter what you believe. Unless you believe the universe was created yesterday, then we can't help you.

hey dude my bio teacher uses your videos to teach us...you should be proud

This is so much information... on subjects that are more complicated, can you split it up into parts? That would be great.

Good timing. I've been wondering how the cancer was communicable since that Smarter Every Day video

Best analogy at the end of the video before the patreon mention lol

My mother in law was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma and 6 months later my husband was diagnosed with the same lymphoma. Add in my Sister in law who has been diagnosed with lymphoma and their uncle (mother in laws brother) who died from lymphoma a couple years back. Apparently his family is being studied by some agency. They all had to send in DNA samples and fill out questionnaires. MIL, SIL and hubby all doing well after chemo.

That was the most horrifying shadow play I have ever seen.

Sometimes I feel like this show answers all my questions from last week's "SmarterEveryDay" video.. Because you totally did..

What a great question. The answer to this question has made me much much smarter.

very informative good job

Falling into a radioactive chemical spill and becoming a superhero confirmed! Hey, he compared catching cancer from someone to it, and there is an infinitesimally small chance of that happening. Thus there must be a chance of becoming a superhero from a radioactive chemical spill, even if it is infinitesimally small. Just make sure you have a cut on your body when you do it. :o)

Posted on my birthday!

Kaposi sarcoma is what killed my grandfather :( This one time I not too happy to already know what Hank is talking about...

great info

I love that this show explains everything as if you are stupid but it's not super patronizing. Most of the time people think you know more than you do and skip things. I always miss things or don't have a good enough base knowledge to understand things fully on science shows like Vsause and Veritasium.

Hi! I love your videos! may i askfor a favor? Some of my close relatives are getting into alternative Cancer therapies ( Gerson, alcali diet )can your team do a video explaining why those things dont work?

Nice sync with Smarter Everyday

For those who are interested: The body itself doesn't reject organs on its own. It's the foreign immune cell (that hitch hiked from the organ donor) that presents auto antigens (from the donor) which the immune system reacts to. What. causes a systemic reaction against cells that present the same auto antigen (these are cells that belong to the donor organ). In a way it's the organ itself that causes the rejection.

In fact there are also clams on the east coast of North America that have a transmissible cancer akin to our own blood cancer.

Very knowledgeable

hey sci show do show about the see through rats and mice using uDISCO is super cool. also do show on our suns solid surface . you guys rock

My aunt had hepatitis she was on the wait list for a new liver for years, when she finally got one after she was already almost on her last legs we later found out there was a tumor growing in her new liver. She passed away later that year.

I got a small debate with my science teacher. I said to my teacher that cancer isn't a illness or a sickness. My teacher disagreed with my statement. I did research and apparently cancer isn't a disease or a sickness, but rather that cancer CAUSES diseases. This video helped with my statement.

5:13 Scishow is so cute and funny.

The emergence of the disease coincided with the sudden widespread plantings of genetically modified (for faster growth rates) Blue Gum trees in large plantations.There is a small town (St. Helens) in Tasmania next to a plantation area that is also a hotspot for some rare types of human cancers and nobody can fully explain why The Tassie Devil facial tumours and the human cancer hotspot both emerged at the same time.. It makes you wonder.

1:10 I think the more important point here is that cancer cells, being locked up inside a person, almost never get a chance to spread to another person.

This episode idea brought to you by Smarter Everyday.

That's an excellent shirt.

I know a guy who fell off a roof while working, and broke his back. He ended up receiving tissue from a dead donor, and moved on. A while later he receives a call that that the donated tissue was or may have been diseased with cancer, even tho he didn't have this cancer, he received a one million dollar settlement because of it... I couldn't help but wish I'd fallen off that roof, and got me some cancer

2:15 This was probably the most grotesque animation I've ever seen...

Thank you

thank you !

So essentially there is a very small chance I can fall into a radioactive waste spill and become a super hero? Knew I should've kept hoping

Nice review Hank. But you could have put out a link or a sentence on what inspired you, you would make us really "Smarter Everyday" !

Why I am not doing anything that has anything to do with physical biological. The statement "microscopic slices of tumor" Urg.. actually had me flinching. (shudders) In school we had to study a cockroach under a microscope (Real bad memory) - I was sort of interested in Biology until that day. After that I believe I called in sick if we had to dissent anything.

Smarter every day made a video about Tasmanian devil cancer too

ayyyyyyy , referencing to smarter every day !

In organ transplants you got something wrong. They usually look for a donor with the same MAJOR histocompatibility complex (since there are a certain amout of CMH types, that's what makes you "compatible"), otherwise they would need to knock out their immune systems forever. Instead it is the MINOR complex that they need to immunosupress for since that one is very rarely the same but it can induce "tolerance" (the immune system ignores it after a long period of exposition with a high dose) but they still try to find the most similar of course.

I may have had an interesting idea. If the human immune system can detect foreign cancer cells from other people and kill those just fine, then could you take two cancer patients and have them each give the other a small amount of their own cancer so that their body would kill the foreign cells but in the process also be able to kill the patients own cancer cells. I could imagine doing this by maybe crushing up the foreign cancer cells or liquidizing them in some way that they could remain alive but finite enough to basically be sprinkled throughout the patients own cancer cells so they are pretty much meshed in with the pre existing cancer cells, so they kind of fuse into one, and when the bodies immune system kicks in to identify and take out the foreign cells it cant help but to take the other cancer cells with it since they are so mixed in with one another. Now I am no scientist or researcher at all, so that may be a dumb idea with no scientific backing, and I am not advocating for people to try this on them self's, but figured I would throw the thought out their anyway. Plus the issue with that one doctor getting cancer from that operation and the organ transplant issue. So I guess the immune system doesn't always prevent it.

thanks to sci show with your help we can get lots of random info which we usually ignore. could u please answer my question. what is reason behind tears why it come out from eyes when we are emotional

2:15 I feel bad for laughing at his 🤣

Someday, hopefully, there'll be a way to grow replacement organs in a lab from a patient's own stem cells - or, better yet, inside of the patient. "Doctor gave me a pill and I grew a new kidney! DOCTOR GAVE ME A PILL AND I GREW A NEW KIDNEY!" - Star Trek IV

Short answer is yes. It requires a very specific set of conditions. If those conditions are being met that person would know how to protect themselves... unless they are a serial killer.

I could of sworn you already made a video about this.

Cancer is an inside job? Crap, it was me all along.

Did you really have to show me DFTD hank, really ? I would've taken your word for it, I was having my cereal xD
