Answers:
Cancer is initiated from cell replication, division and growth!. Sometimes when cells are created during mitosis they are not replicated exactly and have a fault which is then replicated again and again!. This replication of the diseased cell is what forms the cancer!.

If you eat a chicken cancer nothing will happen because not only is the cancer dead like the chicken, but it will be totally destroyed by the acid in your stomach!. Plus chicken cells cannot replicate within a human as they would be recognised by the body as foreign cells and expelled!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No it's not possible!. Meat is usually cooked when you eat it which breaks down the cells!. Even if you ate raw tumour filled meat (if you were so inclined), and your stomach acids and digestive enzymes didn't break down the cells, an animal cell wouldn't be capable of living or growing in the human body!.

Yes, you can get cancer from the animals!. Say when you happened to eat pork with cancer (the taste of the meat is different from the actual taste of the meat) the cancer will grown in your body!. That is why every meat sold in the market must be examined by the Meat Inspector!.
Hope this will help a little bit!.

Cancers themselves are not infectious, though some are caused by viruses that are spread from person to person such as HPV and cervical cancer!. However as far as I am aware there are no zooanotic viruses ( viruses that can spread between humans and animals!.) that produce cancers!. So the answer would be no!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, you won't as long as you fully cook the chicken before you eat it because by that time all the cancer cells in the chicken will be dead!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you buy your chicken from the store they have to inspect it first before they can sell it!. Besides cancer is not catchy from humans or animals, so no!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can't catch cancer from people so i don't think you would from animals either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
