Mitosis is the process by which most cells divide, and it is important for growth and repair.
The cell cycle is controlled by two types of genes: oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes.
A mutation in one of these genes can result in uncontrolled mitosis.
Benign tumors can grow large but do not destroy surrounding tissue, while malignant tumors destroy surrounding tissue and can spread to other sites.
Treatments for cancer include surgery to remove cells, chemotherapy to disrupt the cell cycle, radiotherapy to damage DNA, and drugs that inhibit metaphase.
