Cancer is just cells reverting back to their original evolution before multi cellulars existed.

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.
No? A tumor is very clearly multicellular.
A tumor cell stops being part of the multicelular you and becomes a rogue cell. It starts replicating itself but does not become a multicelular being, it's not coordinated and has no comunication between cells.
You are incorrect. Tumors cells can coordinate to request blood vessels to be created for it.
“[tumor cells] send out signals called angiogenic factors. These encourage new blood vessels to grow into the tumour” Source
And the meer act of being a solid connected clump makes it multicellular. Because its literally made of multiple cells.
