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 is the uncontrolled growth division of cells that result in a malignant growth is known as?

The uncontrolled growth and division of cells that result in a malignant growth is known as cancer. These cancerous cells can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.


What is the result of uncontrolled cell division that is often caused by mutations?

It depends where in the cell cycle things go wrong. Possibly apotosis (cell death), but given the way the question was worded I assume you are asking about uncontrolled cell division which is cancer.


When the cell cycle is not controlled what may result?

Uncontrolled cell cycle can lead to uncontrolled cell division, which may result in the formation of tumors and ultimately can lead to cancer. This uncontrolled growth can disrupt normal tissue function and potentially spread to other parts of the body, causing harm.


What is cancer the result of?

Uncontrolled proliferation of a subset of cells in your body.


Is cancer AA result of a failure of cell cycle control system?

Yes, cancer can result from a failure of the cell cycle control system. When the cell cycle control mechanisms that regulate the orderly progression of cell division are disrupted, it can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and division, which are characteristic features of cancer.


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.


Uncontrolled cell division can result in what?

a uncontrolled divion in the cell may increase the amount of cells at a super fast rate, this will inturn form a giant being, with it being divion cells which were formed in the depths of the volcano of azerath, they will surley build up into a reincarnation of a t-rex with the powers of harry potter. With the t-rexes magical powers he will conquer us all and the world will result in an armogeddon.


Cancer can result when cells retain too tight of control over the cell cycle?

That is incorrect. Cancer can result when cells lose control over the cell cycle and continue to divide uncontrollably. This uncontrolled cell division can lead to the formation of tumors.


What is a certain genetic mutation in a cell and and result in uncontrolled cell division?

What can result from the cell being uncontrolled?

I hope you mean "uncontrolled in growing". Uncontrolled cell growth in one part of the body can cause the development of tumour or cancer.


What will result if the cell cycle is uncontrolled or if the cell continue to divide without stopping?

Uncontrolled cell division can result in the formation of a mass of cells called a tumor, which can be benign or malignant (cancerous). Malignant tumors can invade surrounding tissues and spread to other parts of the body through a process known as metastasis, leading to serious health consequences.
