Understanding Cancer Formation

Cancers develop when normal cells begin to divide uncontrollably, leading to the destruction of nearby healthy cells. This process is often triggered by factors within the cell's DNA.

What initiates the formation of cancer in the body?

• Cells dividing uncontrollably

• Cells stopping division

• Cells merging together

• Cells dividing normally

What is a common characteristic of cancer cells?

• They merge with other cells

• They do not divide

• They divide out of control

• They divide at a normal rate

What happens to nearby healthy cells as the cancer mass grows?

• They remain unaffected

• They are destroyed

• They multiply faster

• They become cancerous

What is the primary consequence of cancer cells dividing uncontrollably?

• Increased energy levels

• Improved immune response

• Destruction of nearby healthy cells

• Formation of benign tumors

Where are many of the triggers that cause cells to divide uncontrollably found?

• In the cell membrane

• In the bloodstream

• In the environment

• In our DNA
