Best Answer

In cancerous cells, the normal programming to undergo apoptosis may not be activated due to the nonreception of proapoptotic signals, the decrease or lack of synthesis of proapoptotic signals, the increase in the synthesis of antiapoptotic signals, or a combination of all of these.

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.
