Discuss the process of cancer development. Include important terms related to cancer growth and types of
tumors.
What will be an ideal response
Normal cells become cancerous when DNA is damaged, resulting in uncontrolled cell division.
Cancer results from the abnormal growth of cells. The abnormal growth and division of cells form a mass of
mutated cells called a tumor. Tumors are classified as either benign (abnormal growth but not life-threatening) or
malignant (cancerous cells that are life-threatening because they will eventually spread to other tissues and disrupt
organ function).
