Cancer isn't really a specific cell it is just the inability for some cells to stop reproducing.

what can cause the cell cycle to be uncontrolled is that if a pathogen gets into the cell the cell will turn into a cancer cell and that will make the cell cycle uncontrolledif your cell turns into a cancer cell then you will have cancer cells reproducing faster than a normal cell(a normal cell is supposed to reproduce every 22 hour's a cancer cell reproduces every 10 hours)


Why is it important to know how cells divide when studying cancer?

I am no expert, but I remember very clearly his section of my biology class. Basically, cells go through a few phases when they divide. Once a cell has officially replicated itself, it goes through a checking process to make sure that the new cell has the proper genetic make up and that no mistakes were made in the replication process. In cancer cells, this process is skipped. The "healthy" cells make "unhealthy" cancer cells, but don't realize it. The healthy cell then dies off because there is a cell to replace it. However, the cell taking its place is a cancer cell. The cancer cell then divides and makes more cancer cells. This is how cancer grows and replaces healthy tissue. Also, because the cells don't take the time to make sure the cell was replicated properly in the cancer process, the cancer cells grow faster because they don't stop to double check that their growth is proper.


What is the difference between small and large cell cancer?

My husband was just diagnosed with secondary liver cancer. I would like to know what is the difference between small cell and larger cell cancer. This is refering to small cell and large cell lung cancer, so I don't know how helpful it'll be: Small cell lung cancer is called this because the cancer cells are small cells that are mostly filled with the nucleus. Small cell cancer spreads early on, so radiotherapy, rather than surgery, is suggested. Large cell lung cancer is called this because the cells look large and rounded. This type of cancer spreads more quickly. source: http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/type/lung-cancer/about/types-of-lung-cancer#large
