WHAT DOES CARCINOGENESIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

carcinogenesis

Carcinogenesis

Carcinogenesis or oncogenesis or tumorigenesis is literally the 'creation' of cancer. It is a process by which normal cells are transformed into cancer cells. It is characterized by a progression of changes at the cellular, genetic and epigenetic level that ultimately reprogram a cell to undergo uncontrolled cell division, thus forming a malignant mass. Cell division is a physiological process that occurs in almost all tissues and under many circumstances. Under normal circumstances, the balance between proliferation and programmed cell death, usually in the form of apoptosis, is maintained by regulation of both processes to ensure the integrity of tissues and organs. Mutations and epimutations in DNA that lead to cancer disrupt these orderly processes by disrupting the programming regulating the processes. Carcinogenesis is caused by mutation and epimutation of the genetic material of normal cells, which upsets the normal balance between proliferation and cell death. This results in uncontrolled cell division and the evolution of those cells by natural selection in the body.

Definition of carcinogenesis in the English dictionary
