How do cancer cells differ in their rate of mitosis compared to healthy specialized cells, and what are the factors that contribute to this uncontrolled proliferation

Question

in point form and student term

Answer 1

- Cancer cells have a higher rate of mitosis compared to healthy specialized cells
- Factors contributing to this uncontrolled proliferation include mutations in genes that regulate cell growth and division, abnormal signaling pathways, and a lack of response to signals that normally control cell division
- Cancer cells also have the ability to evade normal cell death mechanisms and continue to divide uncontrollably
- The rapid growth and division of cancer cells can lead to the formation of tumors and the spread of cancer to other parts of the body.
