the development of cancer

composed of well differentiated cells that resemble cells of tissues of organ
,slow growth rate
may become encapsulated usually do not cause death

Answer
cancer atypical cell structure; abnormal nucleus and chromosomes
lose differentiation or resemblance to origin cell (more anaplastic) invade adjacent cells rather
than pushing aside
more blood supply than normal tissue

17. Oncogenes
Answer
gene MUTATIONS which become cancer-causing genes; are active continuously and promote
unregulated, abnormal and disordered growth
18. Oncogenesis
Answer
Mechanism by which a normal cell is transformed into cancer cell by random genetic mutation or
mutation induced by exposure carcinogens
