Uncontrolled cell division occurs whenever a cell is incapable of responding to growth regulators that are released within it. This uncontrolled growth is cancer.

When cells begin to divide uncontrollably, your white blood cells come and destroy them before they form a tumor. However, sometimes your body fails to recognize these cells as a threat, or some of them get separated from the others and enter your bloodstream, which causes the cancer to spread. In cases like these medical help is needed to help kill the cancerous cells.

What are the 4 steps of Mitosis and what is the end result of Mitosis?

The 4 steps are prophase,metaphase,anaphase, and telophase. The end result for mitosis is telophase, but if you are talking about the cell cycle it would be cytokinesis.

What would happen if the cell went through mitosis but not cytokinesis?

This condition is known as a multinucleated cell, and it can be found in certain tissues like muscle cells or in pathological situations like cancer.
