Summary Introduction
To determine:
Weather the statement is true or false that cancer may increase the reproductive success of an individual cell but may decrease the reproductive success of whole organism
Concept introduction:
Cancer is collectively a group of diseases in which abnormal cell growth occurs and it has potential to infect or spread to other body parts. Cancer cells divide in undifferentiated manner.
