Cell division is related to the spread of cancer because cancer is uncontrolled cell division. So they are closely related.
Short Answer is: carcinoma is cell-division when the normal program of cell-division has 'been compromised', i. e. altered.
It is related because when the cell divides, sometimes it can cluster up... like a crowded room. then it starts to sort of push away the good cells so there is basically more room to breathe. eventually, this cluster of cells becomes one big ball and starts to spread to other parts of the body and develop more bad clustered cells again only in a different part of the body. This is how cancer forms and spreads to other organs in your body.

∙ 12y agoCancer is when the cell divides uncontrollably. The cancerous cell divides without limit - usually, cells will stop dividing when they touch one another. The cancerous offspring also divide uncontrollably, making more and more mistakes in the DNA replication as they do so. Eventually, you'll have a tumor that impedes the functioning of other cells.

∙ 9y agoCancer is related to cell division because cell division is how cancer spreads. Cancer originates with a mutated cell. When it begins to divide and overtake the good cells, the cancerous cell becomes a very big problem.

∙ 11y agoCancer is caused by the lack of cell division controls. There are three controls in cells to determine when and if a cell should divide. When cancer occurs in a certain area, the cells' controls for division are inhibited. Then cells divide uncontrollably. This can cause large clumps of cells in areas where there is not enough room. For obvious reasons this can be extremely dangerous.

What is the difference between having an abnormal cell vs having cancer cell?
Cancer is the general name for a group of more than 100 diseases. Although there are many kinds of cancer, all cancers start because abnormal cells grow out of control. Untreated cancers can cause serious illness and death.and adnormal cell its good for your body i think

How many divisions does a cell undergo before it dies?
According to what I've read, a cell undergoes 40 to 60 divisions before it finally dies. One article says, 80 divisions. I do not know which one is correct. This has something to do with the telomeres at the end of DNA helix strands which become shorter every time a cell divides. Once the telomere is exhausted, the cell dies, or continues to mutate leading to cancer when the cell produces telomerase which lengthens the telomere to continue cell division indefinitely.
What types of cell divisions are involved in creating a puppy?
Meiotic cell divisions form the sperm and egg cells that unite to form the first cell of a puppy. Then mitotic cell divisions continue to create the puppy from that single cell.
Do all cell types divide limitless times?
No, because of the telomere shortening cells have a limited number of divisions. The exception is with cancer cells that divide indefinitely.
