This One, Read it slowly! TUMORA DEVELOPMENT
THE. Once the cell has developed the ability to multiply uncontrollably and avoid death, It can form a tumor colony. A tumor is simply an abnormal mass of tissue that occurs when new cells are formed at a faster rate than they die, a sort of explosion of the cell population.
Cancer cells don't necessarily have to have a high turnover for give rise to accumulation. However, cancer cells that have a high number of growth factor receptors such as EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) they are particularly aggressive.
Usually the rate of growth of a tumor is considered as the time needed to double its size.
It takes approx 30 doubling to produce a cluster of d cells
the diameter of 1 centimeter and weight of 1 gram, minimum size to be usually appreciated with the naked eye. If a certain tumor has a doubling time around 75 days, 30 doublings will need at least 6 years to come. A tumor of this type grows without showing signs of itself for several years before being discovered. In general, the longer a tumor grows without being discovered, the more difficult it will be to cure it. Consider that it can, don't always be like this.
