Some immortal research cell lines are cancer cells. See HeLa cell line.

HeLa stands for Helen Lake, who died of cancer.

They are cancer cells.

They’re actually used in cancer research.

Put them in mice, tumors grow.

You should read about Henrietta Lacks. She was the original ‘live forever’ line of cells from her uterine cancer.
