MALIGNANT CELLS

Malignant cells epitomize a disruptive departure from the body’s typical cellular functionality. These irregular cells undergo genetic modifications that trigger unrestrained growth, disregarding the usual controls that oversee healthy cell division. In contrast to their orderly counterparts, malignant cells proliferate rapidly, ignoring signals to halt growth or self-destruct. Their menacing characteristic lies in their ability to infiltrate adjacent tissues and, worryingly, migrate to distant regions of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, initiating secondary growths, referred to as metastases. These cells pose a significant threat due to their relentless expansion and potential to disrupt the body’s delicate equilibrium.
