PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike normal cells, cancer cells don’t stop growing and dividing when there are enough of them. So the cells keep doubling, forming a lump (tumour) that grows in size.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rather than responding appropriately to the signals that control normal cell behavior, cancer cells grow and divide in an uncontrolled manner, invading normal tissues and organs and eventually spreading throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sometimes these kinds of cells will also go away on their own. It is only when they keep on changing and start to divide uncontrollably, forming lumps or growths, that one of the more than 200 diseases called cancer develops. Growths like this are called tumors.

Detailed explanation-4: -Conclusion. Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tumors, including cancers, are caused by abnormal cells that multiply continuously. If the abnormal cells continue to divide unstopped, they can damage the tissues around them, spread to other parts of the body (malignancy), and even result in death.
