Cancer cells break loose and spread throughout the?
Cancer cells can break loose from the primary tumor and spread to other parts of the body through a process called metastasis. During metastasis, cancer cells invade surrounding tissues, enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system, and travel to distant organs or tissues where they can form new tumors. The spread of cancer cells to distant sites is a key characteristic of advanced or metastatic cancer and is a major factor in the progression and severity of the disease. The two main routes of metastasis are: Hematogenous Metastasis (Bloodstream): Cancer cells can enter the bloodstream, allowing them to travel to distant organs and tissues through the circulatory system. Once in the bloodstream, cancer cells can be carried to various organs, and some may lodge in small blood vessels at distant sites. The ability of cancer cells to survive in the bloodstream and establish new tumors depends on several factors, including the interaction between cancer cells and the microenvironment of the target organ. Lymphatic Metastasis: Cancer cells can also spread through the lymphatic system, a network of vessels and nodes that transport lymph throughout the body. Lymph nodes act as filters, and cancer cells may accumulate in lymph nodes near the primary tumor before spreading to more distant nodes. From the lymph nodes, cancer cells can travel through the lymphatic vessels to other parts of the body. The organs or tissues where metastatic cancer cells settle and form new tumors are called metastatic sites. The choice of metastatic sites can vary depending on the type of cancer and the characteristics of the cancer cells. Common metastatic sites include the lungs, liver, bones, and brain.
Uncontrolled Cell division is called?
The uncontrolled division of animal cells is called Cancer.
When cells sometimes divide uncontrollable and incorrectly what is this called?
Cancerous Cells
What is uncontrolled mitosis called?
Cancer is the result of cell not listening to the signals telling it to stop dividing. Cancer cells have a defect in 2 genes ( a gene that allows cancer and a gene that destroys the cancer cell). As a result, the cell will keep on dividing and not do what it is suppose to do. When the mound of cancer cells are present, it is called a tumor.
What are cells that break down bone tissue called?
Osteoclasts
How does cancer spread in the body?
Cancer can spread in the body through a process called metastasis, where cancer cells break away from the original tumor, travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, and form new tumors in other parts of the body. Metastatic cancer is more difficult to treat and is often associated with a poorer prognosis.

How do cancer cells travel throughout the body?
It travels through blood cells if its luekemia
What happens when cell do not respond to the signals that normally regulate their growth?
Cancer cells do not respond to the signals that regulate the growth of most cells. such cells called cancer cells divide uncontrollably and form masses of cells called tumors that can damage the surrounding tissues
Cancer cells from masses of cells called?
tumors!
Why the cancer is called stomach cancer and not bone cancer Please quick I have a test in science?
Stomach cancer is not called bone cancer, because the cancers cells are not in the bones. With stomach cancer the cancer cells are in the tissues of the stomach.
Uncontrolled Cell division is called?
The uncontrolled division of animal cells is called Cancer.
Metastasis occurs because?
Cancer cells break free and migrate.
When cancer cells break away from the tumor and travel to other parts?
METASTASIZE which is the process by which cancer spreads from one place to another. the cancer moves from the primary site and metastasizes to a secondary site.
When cells sometimes divide uncontrollable and incorrectly what is this called?
Cancerous Cells
How is breast cancer caused?
Breast cancer is caused by cells that lose control over how fast they replicate. Cancer cells divide quickly and rapidly, and they can invade surrounding tissues. Cancer cells can also travel to lymph nodes and to other sites in the body.
What happens in a cancer growth?
When the UV rays hit your skin it can cause damage to your DNA cells. this is called getting sunburned. when you get too much sun exposure and your DNA cells are damaged beyond repair then this might cause your DNA cells to break apart. this will cause more cells to form and when the cells reach the flesh it forms skin cancer.
