One of the characteristics of cancer is the ability for cells to grow and divide uncontrollably. This uncontrolled cell division creates lumps and masses known as tumors, which can range in size from very small to extremely large.

What condition would result if mitosis is uncontrolled in the body?

Uncontrolled cell division occurs whenever a cell is incapable of responding to growth regulators that are released within it. This uncontrolled growth is cancer. When cells begin to divide uncontrollably, your white blood cells come and destroy them before they form a tumor. However, sometimes your body fails to recognize these cells as a threat, or some of them get separated from the others and enter your bloodstream, which causes the cancer to spread. In cases like these medical help is needed to help kill the cancerous cells.

What is uncontrolled mitosis called?

Cancer is the result of cell not listening to the signals telling it to stop dividing. Cancer cells have a defect in 2 genes ( a gene that allows cancer and a gene that destroys the cancer cell). As a result, the cell will keep on dividing and not do what it is suppose to do. When the mound of cancer cells are present, it is called a tumor.
