CANCER = UNCONTROLLED CELL DIVISION
... Cancers are thought to start when changes occur in the genes that control cell division. Mutated gene that causes cancer is an oncogene, a change in any gene called mutation. Mutations are not unusual events, and most mutated cells are either crippled in some way that results in their early death or ...
