oncogenes and inactivate tumor suppressor genes. Initiating

The term _____ is applied to agents and substances that are capable of inducing cancer.
List examples. Carcinogens

, How does inflammation in the body influence tumor growth? Inflammatory cytokines may
cause direct DNA damage and may lead to sustained cellular survival, promotion of growth, and
direct vascularization
______ is the stage during which the mutant cell proliferates Promotion
Most cancer cells begin to synthesize _____ while they acquire their malignant phenotype, thus
rescuing themselves from critical _____ shortening and gaining a mechanism for immortality.
Telomerase
Telomere
_______ is the stage during which the mutant proliferating cells begin to exhibit malignant
behavior. Progression
_____ refers to the cell's traits, such as morphology, metabolism, and biochemical composition.
phenotype
In order to gain access to the blood or lymphatic system for metastasis to occur, cancer cells
must? First escape the basement membrane of the tissue of origin, move through the
extracellular space, and penetrate the basement membrane of the vessel

are present in tissues Stem cells
