How does cancer affect the cell cycle?
Flexi Says:
In the Cell Cycle: Cancer (Advanced) concept, cancer is described as developing due to unregulated cell division. That is, cancer is a disease characterized by a population of cells that grow and divide without respect to normal limits. These cancerous cells invade and destroy adjacent tissues, and they may spread throughout the body. The process by which normal cells are transformed into cancer cells is known as carcinogenesis. This process is also known as oncogenesis or tumorigenesis. Oncogenes are mutated genes involved in the development of cancer.
