Process which growing tumour stimulate the formation of ew blood vessels from expiating ones to supply themself with oxygen ad nutrients

5
New cards

Define protooncogine

Normal mutated genes that stop any cell with mutated genes

6
New cards

What is P53

Anticancer genes it detects the damaged DNA so it cant urn to cancer

7
New cards

What is hypoxia

A lack of oxygen

8
New cards
