Expert Solution
Step 1

Cancer , can be any of the malignant tumor, whose cell grow and divide more rapidly than the normal, invade the surrounding tissue and sometimes spread to the other sites. It involves the failure of regulation of the tissue growth where the normal cell transforms into a cancer cell . Here the genes which regulates the cell growth and differentiation must are altered. The affected genes are divided into the two broad categories. Oncogenes are genes which promotes the cell growth and reproduction. Tumor suppressor genes are genes which inhibit cell division and the survival. Malignant transformation can occur through the formation of the novel oncogene , the inappropriate over expression of the normal oncogenes and the under-expression or disabling of tumor suppressor genes . Typically change in many genes are required to transform a normal cell into a cancer cell .
