Our cells grow by dividing and growing, dividing and growing, so that 1 cell becomes 2, 2 become 4 and so on. WHen we are born our cells grow to the required size and then the coding in our DNA turns off their growth. The growth can be switched on again if the body needs the cells for a reason, such as fighting infection. However, due to errors in the coding some cells either do not switch off, or are switched on again in error. These cells are cancers. They don't begin in any specific location, but can occur anywhere. About 20% of people will die of some form of cancer - and we don't know whay they got it... we know of some factors that increase the risk of cancer, but we still can't pinpoint what causes them in such a large proportion of the population.

When do cancer cells begin?
Cancer cells begin when something goes wrong with the growth of cells which causes cell production to rapidly and uncontrollably
What is prostate metastasis?
Prostate metastasis is when cancer cells in the prostate get into the lymph system and begin to travel to other organs of the body, spreading the cancer.
What is the medical term meaning a tumor in which the cells begin dividing at an uncontrolled rate and become invasive?
Cancer
What kind of cancer causes the white blood cells to attack the red?
Leukemia is the type of cancer that can cause white blood cells to attack red blood cells. This occurs when the abnormal white blood cells recognize red blood cells as foreign and begin attacking them.
What are 2 things that can trigger dormant cancer cells in ot body to begin multiplying?
Watch Brians song for the answer
Does cancer cells mean you have cancer?
Technically, yes, if you have cancerous cells in your body, you do have some cancer. However, if it is only a few cancerous cells, and they haven't targeted any organs yet, they are generally easy to remove. Basically, cancer cells are mutated cells that start somewhere, and multiply at a faster rate than normal cells, and will form a tumor These cells will eventually go into the blood stream, and target an organ such as the liver, where they will begin multiplying into another tumor, and so on. So, as long as these cancer cells have not yet reached the blood stream, simply removing the tumor will get rid of the cancerous cells, as the cells are only, presently, skin deep.
How can you get feet cancer?
You can have cancer anywhere there are cells; where there are cells, there is a possibility of a mutation that causes cancer.
What are the first uterine cancer symptoms?
Cervical cancer usually develops slowly over time, which means that before cancer appears in the cervix, the cells of the cervix go through changes known as dysplasia (precancerous changes). During dysplasia, cells that are not normal begin to appear in the cervical tissue. Later, cancer cells start to grow and spread more deeply into the cervix and to surrounding areas.
What is pre cancer cells?
pre cancer cells are cells with an abnormal appearance suggestive of an increased cancer risk. These cells are not cancerous by themselves alone.
Are there Golgi cells in cancer cells?
yes certain cancers contain golgi cells such as the colon cancer cell and also the breast cancer cells
Can cancer result when cells are insensitive to signals that begin the cell cycle?
All cell cycle phases are regulated at cell cycle checkpoints that comprise of receptor collectivities. Defects at the checkpoint of the G1 and G2-M phases lead to cancer by allowing and enhancing the proliferation of cancer cells.
How can cancer cells be describe?
dividing out of control .
