Cancer cells differ from normal cells because:
Cancer cells take priority over normal cells in the use of amino acids for protein synthesis: they use the body’s stores which case weight loss, wasting, emaciation, and eventually death
Cancer cells have higher nutrient demands and are unable to make their own food
Cancer kills by:
Current Cancer Theory
Each cell has a specific function, and in cancer, the cell’s function is altered and growth goes unchecked
Each cell has a number of proto-oncogenes
What are Oncogenes?
It is believed that carcinogenic substances convert proto-oncogenes into oncogenes
