Histologically, cancer cells exhibit several distinct features:
Nuclear Abnormalities: Cancer cells often have enlarged and irregular nuclei with prominent nucleoli. Mitotic Figures: Increased numbers of mitotic figures are observed, indicating rapid cell division. Loss of Differentiation: Cancer cells may lose their specialized functions, appearing more primitive or less differentiated. Invasion of Surrounding Tissues: Unlike benign tumors, malignant tumors invade the surrounding stroma and can metastasize to distant organs.
