Can cancer still attack one's body following death?

Cancer needs a source of sugar to burn to keep diseased cells alive. Instead of oxidizing the sugar via cellular mitochondria, cancer cells ferment the sugar to release energy. If the person is dead long enough, then the cancer will run out of sugar eventually. If some of the diseased cells are accidentally surgically removed for organ transplantation into a recipient patient, that recipient could easily get cancer due to the anti-rejection drugs given to them that prevent that person's immune system from attacking the new organ as though it was a foreign invader. In this case, cancer cells or the underlying chemical toxic causes of cancer could be transplanted and attack that person's body following death of the original patient.
