Cancer cells divide excessively and invade other tissues. They do not have density dependence or anchorage dependence. Simply put, regular cells grow in an even layer while cancer cells grow tightly and on top of each other - an unnatural mass.

Do stem cells grow faster than cancer cells?

Stem cells do not necessarily grow faster than cancer cells. Cancer cells can divide more rapidly and uncontrollably than stem cells, which can contribute to the aggressive nature of cancer growth. However, stem cells have the ability to divide and differentiate into various cell types, while cancer cells typically lose this ability.


What is the disease where the cells grow and divide uncontrollablly?

In humans, this cellular behavior is called "cancer"


Cells grow and divide at an abnormally high rate in?

Cells grow and divide at an abnormally high rate in cancer. This uncontrolled growth leads to the formation of tumors.


When we grow do our cells grow or divide?

Cells divide.


What's the difference between cancer cells and normal cells?

Cancer cells are abnormal cells that grow uncontrollably and can spread to other parts of the body, while normal cells grow and divide in a controlled manner to perform specific functions in the body.


How is the behaviour of cancer cells different from that normal cells?

Cancer cells have the ability to grow and divide uncontrollably, whereas normal cells grow and divide in a regulated manner. Cancer cells can also invade surrounding tissues and spread to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis, which normal cells do not do. Additionally, cancer cells may evade the body's immune system and resist cell death signals that would normally eliminate damaged cells.


How does cancer happens?

Cells in our body grow, divide, and die in a certain way. Cancer happens when cells either grow, divide, or die wrong or in the wrong way. It ends up being an unpredictable manner that causes uncontrolled growth and division.


How do cancer cells behave inside the human body?

Cancer cells divide and grow uncontrollably, forming malignant tumors. Although cancer cells can be quite common in a person they are only malignant when the other cells (particularly natural killer cells) fail to recognize and/or destroy them.


Do cancer cells divide at a faster rate than normal cells?

Yes, cancer cells typically divide at a faster rate than normal cells.


What happens to cells as they grow and divide?

In multi-cellular organisms as cells grow and divide, they specialize.


Cancer is a disease in which some cells lose ability to control their?

Their Growth Rate. It's the high school bookworm again! :D


How fast do cancer cells divide and multiply within the body?

Cancer cells can divide and multiply at a faster rate than normal cells in the body, leading to uncontrolled growth and the formation of tumors. The exact speed at which cancer cells divide can vary depending on the type of cancer and individual factors.
