Detailed explanation-1: -Contact inhibition is a process of arresting cell growth when cells come in contact with each other. As a result, normal cells stop proliferating when they form a monolayer in a culture dish. Contact inhibition is a powerful anticancer mechanism that is lost in cancer cells (16).
Detailed explanation-2: -Cancer is a disease caused when cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues. Cancer is caused by changes to DNA. Most cancer-causing DNA changes occur in sections of DNA called genes. These changes are also called genetic changes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cancer is basically a disease of uncontrolled cell division. Its development and progression are usually linked to a series of changes in the activity of cell cycle regulators.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tissue invasion is the mechanism by which tumor cells expand into nearby environments. Metastasis refers to the process of tumor cells breaking away from the primary tumor, migrating to a new location and establishing a new, or secondary tumor, in the new environment.
