What is Malignant Tumors – as Cancer about?

In all metazoans, millions of cells coexist together in an intricately organized manner by mutually supporting each other. Cells are considered as the "building blocks of life," as similar cells group together to form specific tissues or organs of our body . All the cells are endowed with great autonomy and versatility. There are cells with different structures, specialized to carry out specific functions. For example, cells of the nervous system (neurons) are specialized for transmission of impulses throughout the body while muscle cells (myocytes) can contract to move. However, certain cells retain the power of division and maintain the adult tissue throughout the life of an organism.There exists a tightly regulated balance between cell division and death. Moreover, tight regulation of cell signaling occurs during cell differentiation, which enables tissue morphogenesis . For example, in trophoblasts, the cells of gastrula get differentiated into ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm which contribute to the formation of all tissues and organs. However, when the process of cell division gets unregulated due to genetic mutation, uncontrolled cell proliferation occurs, resulting in tumor
