What is the cytokine which is produced to stimulate macrophages and cause death of cancer cells?

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a cytokine produced to stimulate macrophages and induce cell death in cancer cells. It plays a role in the immune response against cancer by promoting inflammation and cell death in tumor cells.


Why do cancer cells need to become angiogenic?

Just like regular cells, cancer cells also need nourishment to grow. This nourishment is available though blood supply. Since cancer cells grow as an irregular mass, most often, there is no blood supply to certain regions of the cancer cell mass (also known as a tumor) Therefore, these tumors redirect the growth of blood vessels to help them get blood supply


Cancer cells can reproduce rapidly because they?

Cancer cells can reproduce rapidly because they have lost the ability to regulate their growth and division, leading to uncontrollable cell proliferation. This uncontrolled cell division allows cancer cells to rapidly multiply and form tumors.


Why do cancer cells need so much blood?

Cancer cells don't need much more blood than any other cell - the problem is when there is a collection of cancer cells in a tumor. The tumor as a whole is rapidly dividing (usually), so it needs a great deal of energy and nutrients to do that. Nutrients are brought into the body's tissues by circulating blood, which is why many tumors develop angiogenesis properties (the ability to create new blood vessels).


Cytotoxic T cells can destroy cancer cells by means of a secretion called?

Cytotoxic T cells can destroy cancer cells by means of a secretion called perforin. Perforin is a protein that forms pores in the membrane of target cells, allowing toxic enzymes to enter and induce cell death.

What about health issues with kr85?

The biggest health issue with KR-85 is its ability to induce cancer cell creation within the body. KR-85 can also erode organs and tissues.

What is the difference between small and large cell cancer?

My husband was just diagnosed with secondary liver cancer. I would like to know what is the difference between small cell and larger cell cancer. This is refering to small cell and large cell lung cancer, so I don't know how helpful it'll be: Small cell lung cancer is called this because the cancer cells are small cells that are mostly filled with the nucleus. Small cell cancer spreads early on, so radiotherapy, rather than surgery, is suggested. Large cell lung cancer is called this because the cells look large and rounded. This type of cancer spreads more quickly. source: http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/type/lung-cancer/about/types-of-lung-cancer#large
