Cancer and Cancer therapy
By :
Dawes. Jeremy.
Although the origin of the term ‘cancer’ is not clear, cancer is responsible for nearly 13% of all natural deaths in the world. To better understand how cancer develops it is important to understand the concept of apoptosis (or programmed cell death). The human body produces millions of new cells each day, and each cell has an inbuilt mechanism that checks for any genetic defects and defective cells are destroyed by the body. Occasionally, cells with genetic defects survive and begin replicating. The defective cells are aggressive (grow and divide without respect to normal limits), invasive (invade and destroy adjacent tissues), and/or metastatic (spread to other locations in the body).
