How do Cancerous Tissues Differ from Normal Tissues?
In normal tissues, cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion. However, in cancerous tissues, this regulated process is disrupted. Cancer cells exhibit hyperplasia (increased cell proliferation) and anaplasia (loss of differentiation). They often show pleomorphism, where cells vary in size and shape, and have abnormal nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratios.
