Normal Cells Vs Cancer Cells

A cancer cell is formed when the cell’s DNA is damaged but not repaired. Instead of the cell dying, like a normal cell, it reproduces new cells which also have the damaged DNA that the original cell had. Factors that can cause a cell to be damaged are mistakes during the reproduction of the cell, environmental reasons, such as smoking or too much sun exposure. The cancer cells form tumors which then invade the tissue of a certain body part, like the breast, lungs, brain, or prostate. Cancer can spread sometimes from body part to body part, but is named from where it starts. For instance, if somebody were to be diagnosed with breast cancer, and developed cancer in their lungs, it would be metastatic lung cancer. Metastasis is how cancer can spread to other body

Cancer is a very general term that can refer to many different diseases. The different major classifications of cancer are Carcinoma, Leukemia, Myeloma, Lymphoma, and Sarcoma. Carcinoma is a cancer of the external or internal linings of the body such as epithelial tissue. Leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow. This is also known as blood cancer, because bone marrow is the site where blood cells are produced. Myeloma is a cancer found specifically in the plasma cells of bone marrow. Lymphoma is a cancer that develops in the lymphatic system. The cancer appears in the nodes, glands,

Cancer is a disease that affects human somatic cells. It causes the cells to divide uncontrollably and form masses known as tumors. There are two different

Some types of cancer are more aggressive that others, and some are more easily treated and managed if diagnosed in early stages, however there is no known cure for cancer. Malignant tumours can spread into tissue that is nearby. When malignant tumours are removed they can sometimes grow back. Benign tumours do not spread into nearby tissues.

All cancers begin in cells, the body's basic unit of life. To understand cancer, it's helpful to know what happens when normal cells become cancer cells.

First, we must understand what cancer is and how it forms, cancer is “a malignant and invasive growth or tumor, especially one originating in epithelium, tending to recur after excision and to metastasize to other sites.”1 it is when normal cells mutate and begin to reproduce at such an accelerated rate that body does not have time to get rid of these bad cells and a mass begins to grow creating a problem for the body.

Cancer is the development of faulty cells and is caused by mutations in the DNA of the cell which make it defective. Normal cells have methods to prevent cancer cells from forming, such as tumor suppressor genes but sometimes cancer can bypass these methods and grow out of control, forming tumors. If the cancer cells come into contact with the lymphatic system or circulatory system, it can travel to other parts of the body through them and cause cancer in those areas of the body too. Once the cancer has spread throughout the body it leads to death within a few years as the cancer takes over the healthy cells. Mutations in proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes can cause liver cancer, which can be slowed down with treatments

Cells are constantly getting instructions from chromosomes to divide. Cancer forms when cells get instructions incorrectly and begin dividing too much and cells do not get a message to stop making cells so they continue to divide. When cells grow out of control, a tumor forms. A tumor that is malignant does spread.

Cancer is where abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy tissue. With each special type of cell through differentiation each cancer is unique like Leukemia and breast cancer.

There are a wide variety of cancer types. They all have several things in common, however. Each cancer starts with cells that become abnormal or cancerous. These cells reproduce and form a mass of cancerous cells. This mass is called a tumor. When the cancerous cells spread, or metastasize, they can impact other tissues, organs, and systems of the body. A second commonality among cancers is that when they are detected early, they are easier to treat and the treatments are more likely to work. In many cases, a cancer that is caught early can be completely destroyed.

In order to properly understand this cancerous condition, this question must first be addressed: what is cancer? Generally, cancer is when cells in the body begin growing out of control. Instead of dying when they are supposed to, the cancer cells continue to grow in size as well as produce more

Cancer is the abnormal growth of cells, or as cell malignancy. There are various forms of cancer, and mostly,

Cancer cell growth is distinct from normal cell growth. Cancer begins when cells in begin to grow and develop out of control. Instead of dying like the normal cells, cancer cells keep to grow and produce new abnormal cells.

One thing I learned in researching cancer is that in order for cancer to appear in our body it has to avoid being detected by our immune system. The cancer cells have to avoid being detected by the immune system because if they are detected the immune system will try and fight off the abnormality. If your immune system does not detect the abnormality in cells, the cancer cells will grow and reproduce causing cancer to spread rapidly. The cancer cells that are not detected they can create colonies and spread rapidly.

The first similarity is that just like malignant tumors, benign tumors can also be quite large. A common mistake patients often make is confuse benign tumors with malignant tumors because of the size. Although malignant tumors are usually larger than benign tumors, that alone does not make the difference. In fact, a benign tumors weighing over a hundred pounds have been removed. An example of a large benign tumor is a 32-year-old man from Vietnam who survived a 12-hour operation in which a massive 198-pound benign tumor from his right leg was removed at France-Vietnam Hospital (FV) on January 5, 2012.2 The second similarity is that both malignant and benign tumors recur locally, to be more specific, the location where the recurrence of the tumor most likely happens. To elaborate further, both benign and malignant tumors have the ability to reappear near or in the same area where the previous tumor was located. For instance, recurrent breast tumors are tumors that have come back in the same breast or chest wall after the treatment for a period of time when the tumor couldn't be detected.3 The third and final similarity is the danger both malignant and benign tumors pose to the health of the patient.
