What do cancer cells grow into?

Cancer cells are able to take over healthy cells due to multiple mutations in the genes. When the healthy cells become cancerous, the genetic information will be damaged and destroyed.


How do cancer cells affect healthy cells?

Cancer cells can disrupt the normal function of healthy cells by competing for nutrients and oxygen, secreting harmful substances that damage surrounding tissue, and evading the immune system. They can also create a crowded environment that hinders the function of healthy cells and promotes inflammation and cell division.


Can you swallow cancer cells?

Cancer cells can be engulfed by immune cells in the body, preventing them from spreading. Swallowing cancer cells would not cause cancer in the person because cancer is not a contagious disease that can be transmitted through ingestion. However, it is important to focus on prevention and early detection of cancer through healthy lifestyle habits and regular screenings.


Cells that have lost the ability to control the rate at which they reproduce are called?

This can cause the well known disease cancer.


When culturing cells why do researchers prefer cancer cells over healthy cells extracted from an organism?

Cancer cells proliferate rapidly and can be grown indefinitely in culture, making them useful for long-term experiments. They also exhibit genetic alterations that mimic those seen in human cancers, providing insights into cancer biology and potential drug targets. Healthy cells are more difficult to maintain in culture and have a limited lifespan, making them less practical for long-term studies.

How does cancer treatment affect healthy cells?

Cancer treatment affects healthy cells by killing them , because the keno therapy has radiation and it kills your cells.

What is virotherapy and how does it work?

Virotherapy is a type of treatment that uses viruses to target and kill cancer cells. The viruses are modified to selectively infect and destroy cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. Once inside the cancer cells, the viruses replicate and cause the cells to burst, ultimately leading to the death of the cancer cells.

Why is it important to know how cells divide when studying cancer?

I am no expert, but I remember very clearly his section of my biology class. Basically, cells go through a few phases when they divide. Once a cell has officially replicated itself, it goes through a checking process to make sure that the new cell has the proper genetic make up and that no mistakes were made in the replication process. In cancer cells, this process is skipped. The "healthy" cells make "unhealthy" cancer cells, but don't realize it. The healthy cell then dies off because there is a cell to replace it. However, the cell taking its place is a cancer cell. The cancer cell then divides and makes more cancer cells. This is how cancer grows and replaces healthy tissue. Also, because the cells don't take the time to make sure the cell was replicated properly in the cancer process, the cancer cells grow faster because they don't stop to double check that their growth is proper.


5 Explain two ways in which stem cells could be used to understand or treat medical conditions?

Stem cells replace damaged tissue with new healthy tissue. This is the absolutely most basic description of why they are so important for the future of medicine. In the future, stem cells will cure hearing loss, vision loss, spinal injury, diabetes, alzheimer's, knee problems, etc., etc., because of replacing tissue in the body that has transformed into "bad" cells from damage or cancer. That is how cancer originates. Cancer orginates from "good" cells turning into 'out-of-control' bad cells. Defeat the unhealthy cells, and replace with new healthy cells. That is what stem cell regeneration will do.


How is boron used in radiation therapy to target cancer cells?

Boron is used in radiation therapy for cancer treatment through a method called boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). In BNCT, boron is selectively delivered to cancer cells, which are then exposed to neutron radiation. The boron atoms in the cancer cells absorb the neutrons and release high-energy particles that specifically target and destroy the cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. This targeted approach helps to minimize damage to surrounding healthy cells and improve the effectiveness of the treatment.


Cancer cells from masses of cells called?

tumors!


Why the cancer is called stomach cancer and not bone cancer Please quick I have a test in science?

Stomach cancer is not called bone cancer, because the cancers cells are not in the bones. With stomach cancer the cancer cells are in the tissues of the stomach.


How did Ernest E Just discover that healthy cells could cure sickle and cancer?

How is cancer is relates to cell cycle?

Cancer is related to the cell cycle because when a person gets infected, the cancerous cells attack healthy cells and then mutate the cells and then it rapidly creates new, mutated cells. The mutated cells then attack more healthy cells and the process is repeated. Cancerous cells can be killed with radiation


What are the cancer cells called that break free and travel?

Cancer cells that break free and travel to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system are called metastatic cancer cells.
