Wikipedia

  1. Cancer cell

    Cancer cells are cells that divide continually, forming solid tumors or flooding the blood or lymph with abnormal cells. Cell division is a normal process used by the body for growth and repair. A parent cell divides to form two daughter cells, and these daughter cells are used to build new tissue or to replace cells that have died because of aging or damage. Healthy cells stop dividing when there is no longer a need for more daughter cells, but cancer cells continue to produce copies. They are also able to spread from one part of the body to another in a process known as metastasis.

  1. cancer cell

    A cancer cell is an abnormal cell that divides and multiplies uncontrollably in the body, often accumulating to form a mass called a tumor. These cells can invade and damage healthy tissues and organs. They are characterized by altered gene expression, leading to uncontrolled growth, lack of differentiation, ability to spread to other parts of the body (metastasis), and avoidance of programmed cell death (apoptosis). Cancer cells originate from normal cells when their genes mutate.
