What is the function of a tumor suppressor gene in the human body?

Tumor suppressor genes help regulate cell growth and prevent the development of cancer by controlling cell division and repairing damaged DNA.


Why is it unlikely for a cell that spends a large amount of time in G0 phase to be a tumor cell?

Cells in G0 phase are in a non-dividing state, which limits their ability to become cancerous. Tumor cells typically have unchecked cell cycle progression and divide rapidly. Cells in G0 phase are also less metabolically active, reducing the likelihood of sustaining the genetic mutations necessary for tumor formation.


What is the name for a mass of cells growing out of control?

It depends on what you mean by 'out of control', but if you mean the cell keeps can't stop dividing while carrying faulty information, it's called cancer.


Regulatory proteins that serve to prevent a cell from entering the S phase?

Some examples of regulatory proteins that prevent a cell from entering the S phase include the retinoblastoma protein (Rb), which acts as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting cell cycle progression, and the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs) like p21 and p27, which regulate CDK activity to block S phase entry. These proteins help maintain normal cell cycle control and prevent uncontrolled cell proliferation.


How can disruptions in the cell cycle lead to cancer?

Disruptions in the cell cycle can lead to uncontrolled cell division, which is a hallmark of cancer. Mutations in genes regulating the cell cycle, such as tumor suppressor genes or oncogenes, can promote the growth of cancer cells. This uncontrolled division allows cells to accumulate additional mutations that can lead to tumor formation and cancer development.

How long a person can live after the giant cell tumor surgery?

It depends on many things but i don't believe someone can make more than a couple of years This is very inaccurate as a giant cell tumor is benign and you'll live as long as you are supposed to.

Are giant cell tumors cancerous?

In short, yes. BUT, depending on where the cancer, it will be MALIGNANT or not, meaning that it can recur, metastasize, or invade. If you provide the site of the giant cell tumor and age of patient, people might be able to help here. Alternatively and better yet, contact your pathologist and ask if he can help you. Giant Cell Tumors are not even real tumors and they are not cancerous!
