Blood Cancer

Cancer Cell Biology & Genetics

Cancer may be a group of diseases involving abnormal growth of the cells with the potential to invade or unfold to numerous elements of the body. These contrast with benign   , that do not spread. Cancer cells are cells that divide unrelentingly, forming solid tumors or flooding the blood with abnormal cells. Cell division may be a traditional method utilized by the body for growth and repair. A parent cell divides to form two daughter cells, and these daughter cells are used to build new tissue or to replace cells that have died because of aging or damage. Healthy cells stop dividing once there's no longer a desire for additional daughter cells, but cancer cells continue to produce copies. They are also able to spread from one part of the body to a different in a method called metastasis. Cancer disease caused by genetic changes leading to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor formation. The basic reason for sporadic cancers is DNA damage and genomic instability. A minority of cancers are due to inherited genetic mutations. Most cancers are related to environmental, lifestyle, or activity exposures. Cancer is generally not contagious in humans, though it can be caused by oncoviruses and cancer bacteria.
