Is a disease in which cells grow and divide uncontrollably?
Cancerous Cells
A mutation is a mass of abnormal cells that develops when cancerous cells divide and grow uncontrollably?
Yes that is true
What type of disease may result if the cell division is not properly regulated?
Cancer. A cancerous tumor is a group of cells that divide uncontrollably, without stopping.
Which type of tissue would have a higher mitotic index normal tissue or cancerous tissue?
Cancer cells have higher mitotic index because they have a mutation in the DNA so they reproduce uncontrollably and therefore divide faster which means they have a higher mitotic index. ex. In a normal lung tissue, % of cells dividing is 5% while in a cancerous lung the % of cells divding is 25 %
What is the medical term meaning a mass of tissue growing uncontrollably?
A mass of tissue growing uncontrollably is a cancerous tumor.
What are the main causes of cancer cell formation?
Cells within the body multiply regularly.Some cells grow uncontrollably forming tumors. As the disease progresses, the cancerous cells travel through the blood stream and attack other organs of the body.
Will normal or cancerous cells have a higher growth rate?
the cancerous cells
How do you tell when cells are cancerous?
Cancerous cells exhibit uncontrolled and inappropriate mitosis. Cancerous cells will often exhibit changed morphology and gene expression profiles, often assuming the shape and gene expression of more immature or more stem-like cells (a process termed de-differentiation). Cancerous cells often exhibit unusual karyotypes. Clinically, the precise identification of a cancerous cell can be difficult and will vary tissue to tissue. Another consideration is that for at least some cancers it is theorized that only a small proportion of cells within a tumor are actively cancerous. These cells are referred to as cancer stem cells. It is theorized that in some cases only a comparatively few cells are genuinely tumor-forming (i.e. uncontrollably dividing) and generating large growths of non-tumor forming cells of the visible tumor. Identifiying these actively tumor-forming cells remains a challenge in oncology.
What will happen when cells divide uncontrollably?
When cells divide uncontrollably it causes things like mutation or cancer, because cancerous cells go through rapid cell divisions and do not develop in the same way that healthy cells develop
What cells are more cancerous?
Brain cells
What is the relationship between cancerous cells and a tumor?
Cancerous cells are cells that have undergone genetic mutations that cause them to grow and divide uncontrollably. These cells can form a mass of tissue called a tumor. Tumors can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors: These tumors are non-cancerous and typically do not invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body. They may grow slowly and often have well-defined borders. Malignant tumors: These tumors are cancerous and can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body through a process called metastasis. Malignant tumors can be further categorized based on their tissue of origin (e.g., carcinoma, sarcoma, lymphoma, leukemia). So, cancerous cells are the cells that make up malignant tumors, whereas benign tumors are made up of non-cancerous cells. The distinction between benign and malignant tumors is crucial for determining treatment strategies and assessing prognosis.
One difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell is that?
a. cancer cells divide uncontrollably. b. normal cells cannot make copies of DNA. c. cancer cells cannot make copies of DNA. d. normal cells divide uncontrollably. (A) cancer cells divide uncontrollably
