CANCER: NON-INFECTIOUS DISEASE: • One of the major cause of death all over the globe. • Cancer is uncontrol growth of cells, divide continuously and produce masses of cells called TUMOUR. • When a normal cell comes in contact with other cells it stops division. This property is called CONTACT INHIBITION. • Cancerous cell/oncogenic cells lost the property of contact inhibition that’s why produce tumour. TUMORS ARE OF TWO TYPES Ã • Benign and Malignant • BENIGN TUMORS Ã remain confined to their original location and do not spread and cause little damage. • MALIGNANT TUMORS Ã a mass of proliferating cells called neoplastic or tumour cells. These cells grow very rapidly, invading and damaging the surrounding normal tissues. • Cancerous cells actively divide and grow they also starve the normal cells by competing for vital nutrients. METASTASIS: • Cells sloughed from malignant tumour reach dist
