A chicken can get breast cancer. What happens if I eat one that is infected?

Cancer cells are not contagious.
Cancer cells are not viral, or bacterial.
Cancer cells are normal cells that have been changed (their DNA, by carcinogenics / mutagenics) in such a way that they produce more growth enhancers or less growth inhibitors than other cells,
which makes them overgrow normal healthy tissue.
So, these cells are made up of the same materials as normal cell.s
Which means they are digested in our body the same way as normal cells (meat).
