This is my understanding. All cancer cells have DNA. You can have prostate cancer in bones, lungs, etc. Despite where it is its still prostate cancer cells. Bone, lung cancer cells, etc have their own dna

Very interesting, thanks for the follow up, I appreciate it! President Jimmy Carter had melanoma skin cancer years ago that spread to his brain and that was treated at Emory in Atlanta. Based on your point, after is metastisized to his brain, his cancer remained "skin cancer" with its unique DNA. Makes sense to me, but it'll be a good question for the doctor.
