Cell division is a normal process in multi-cellular organisms. Growth and repair (replacement of dead cells) take place as a
result of cell division (mitosis). Except for cells like the liver and brain cells, which rarely divide in the mature adult, most
cells undergo frequent division. Sometimes, however, cell division becomes very rapid and uncontrolled, leading lo cancer. It
should be clearly understood that rapid growth means a high rate of cell division for a particular cell type. It is possible for
perfectly normal cells, e. g. the blood-forming cells, to have a higher rate of division than some cancerous cells. Cancer is not
one single disease but a complex of many diseases. About two hundred distinct types of cancer have been recognized. These
can be grouped into four main types: carcinomas, sarcomas, lymphomas and leukemias.
CHARACTERISTICS OF CANCER CELLS
Almost all types of differentiated cells can become neo-plastic or cancerous. The process of cell change in which a cell loses its
ability to control its rate of division, and thus becomes a tumor cell, is called cell transformation. The cancerous cell generally
retains the- structural and functional characteristics of the normal cell type from which it is derived. Thus cancerous cells of
the thyroid gland continue to secrete thyroxin. Neo-plastic cells, however, differ from their normal counter parts in several
respects.
