Detailed explanation-1: -When a cell’s DNA is damaged, it will typically detect the damage and try to repair it. If the damage is beyond repair, the cell will normally send itself into apoptosis, ensuring that it will not pass on its damaged DNA. When cells have DNA damage but fail to undergo apoptosis, they may be on the road to cancer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Apoptosis in Cancer The loss of apoptotic control allows cancer cells to survive longer and gives more time for the accumulation of mutations which can increase invasiveness during tumor progression, stimulate angiogenesis, deregulate cell proliferation and interfere with differentiation [2].
Detailed explanation-3: -The Definition of Cancer When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes this orderly process breaks down, and abnormal or damaged cells grow and multiply when they shouldn’t. These cells may form tumors, which are lumps of tissue.
