Summary Introduction

To answer:

The comparison between highly proliferating normal cells (including a cell of the hair follicles, bone marrow, and gastrointestinal tract) with the characteristics of highly proliferating cancerous cells.

Concept introduction:

Carcinogenesis, also known as tumorigenesis, is the progression of cancer. Cancer is a group of diseases in which normal cell is transformed into genetically abnormal cells. Cancer is characterized by genetic or cellular changes, uncontrolled growth of cells, invasion, metastasis, and antiapoptosis. Cancer cells lack differentiation and maturation into specialized cells. Cancer cells invade adjacent tissues and travel to other parts of the body through blood or lymphatic system.
