Cancer cells are a result of random mutations in your own cells. Usually cells with these mutations get caught immediately and are killed, but very rarely (in the case of cancer) their mutations make it possible to evade these death mechanisms (apoptosis, immune system detection) and multiply unimpeded in the body.

EDIT: In the case of lysosomes, they are the result of an intricate apoptosis pathway. If something in the apoptosis pathway mutates so that it no longer works, then anything afterwards - including lysosomes - would not get the signal to activate.

Can confirm, my two cockatiels are both assholes when it comes to demanding scritches and stealing human food.

She was in the middle of a molt when this photo was taken, so she was grumpy and tired. She is normally comfortable and energetic. Thanks for the concern!
