No, mitosis is actually the cause of cancer. Well, unregulated mitosis that is. Cancer is basically uncontrolled cell division.
Centrioles play a crucial role in organizing the spindle fibers that help separate chromosomes during mitosis. They are responsible for ensuring that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.
Can you descuss cancer as mitosis "gone wild"?
Tumors are the basis of cancer in a way. If a tumor is not removed it can form into cancer.
Mitosis is how most cells replicate. When cancer develops, the rate of cancer cell mitosis is higher than it should be and higher than the rate of surrounding cells. This is why a tumor forms.
Mitosis itself does not cause cancer. However, errors in the regulation of mitosis can lead to mutations in cells, which may contribute to the development of various types of cancer such as breast, lung, or colon cancer.
