Cancer: Mitosis Gone Wrong
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth and division of cells. Cells will keep growing and dividing, even if your body does not necessarily need them. This means that there is a malfunction in the body in knowing when to start and stop mitosis. The cell usually spends most of its time in interphase and spends a very small amount of time in actual cell dividing phases. However, cancer cells are in a rapid state of cell division and spend much more time out of interphase.
