Cancer cells divide rapidly due to several factors:
Genetic Mutations: Mutations in genes that regulate cell growth, such as oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, can lead to uncontrolled cell division. Loss of Cell Cycle Control: Cancer cells often lose the ability to regulate the cell cycle, leading to continuous and unchecked division. Avoidance of Apoptosis: Normally, damaged cells undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis). Cancer cells can evade apoptosis, allowing them to survive and proliferate.
