Yes, cancer cells cannot grow and live in alkaline environment, at pH 7.4 , their growth stops, and at pH 8.4 they die .

What excatly is cancer biology?

Cancer in biology is the mutation or change in a cell that cause abnormal activities like uncontrolled growth.


What problems do cell growth cause?

Uncontrolled cell growth can lead to tumors and cancer. It can also disrupt tissue function and cause organ enlargement or dysfunction. Additionally, rapid cell growth can deplete resources and lead to nutrient or oxygen deprivation in surrounding tissues.


A disease caused by a mutation in genes that control the cell cycle?

Cancer is a disease caused by mutations in genes that regulate the cell cycle, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and proliferation. These mutations can disrupt the normal processes that control cell division and growth, allowing cancer cells to multiply uncontrollably and form tumors.


How are cancer cell growth differs from normal cell growth?

Cancer cell growth is uncontrolled, rapid, and does not respond to signals that typically regulate cell growth in normal cells. Normal cells have a regulated cell cycle with checks and balances to ensure controlled growth and division, whereas cancer cells have mutations that disrupt these regulatory mechanisms, allowing them to divide uncontrollably. Additionally, cancer cells can evade the body's immune system and can invade surrounding tissues or spread to distant organs, a process known as metastasis.


Cancerous cell growth called?

Cancerous cell growth is called cancer. It occurs when abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and can spread to other parts of the body. Treatment options for cancer may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapy.
