    GlossaryCancer Cells

    abnormal cells that grow uncontrollably and can invade tissues

    Cancer cells, also known as malignant cells or neoplastic cells, are abnormal cells that grow and divide uncontrollably, often forming tumors. Unlike normal cells, they can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, a process known as metastasis. These cells often evade the body's natural mechanisms for cell death and repair, leading to the progression of cancer.
