The development of cancer can be divided into several stages:
Initiation: This is the first stage where a normal cell undergoes a genetic mutation. Promotion: During this stage, the mutated cell is stimulated to divide and proliferate. Progression: In this stage, the proliferating cells acquire additional mutations that make them more aggressive and invasive. Metastasis: This final stage involves the spread of cancer cells from the original site to other parts of the body.
