The cells mainly used to kill infectious microbes and tumor cells are immune cells called cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells. These cells can recognize infected or abnormal cells and destroy them by releasing toxic chemicals or by inducing programmed cell death.

Is breast cancer infectious?
No, breast cancer is not infectious. It is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells when they grow uncontrollably. The causes of breast cancer are primarily genetic and environmental factors, not due to any infectious agent.
How are tumor cells different from normal cells?
Cell division is not regulated in tumor cells.
What is the medical term meaning compression of surrounding cells by the tumor cells?
The medical term for compression of surrounding cells by tumor cells is "mass effect." This occurs when a tumor grows and displaces nearby tissues or organs, causing them to become compressed or distorted. It can lead to various symptoms depending on the location and size of the tumor.
How do maligant tumor cells differ to benige tumor cells?
Malignant tumor cells are cancerous, tend to grow rapidly, spread to other parts of the body, and can be life-threatening. Benign tumor cells are non-cancerous, grow slowly, do not invade nearby tissues, and are typically not life-threatening.
What are disseminated tumor cells?
Disseminated tumor cells are cancer cells that have detached from the primary tumor and spread through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to other parts of the body. These cells can potentially form new tumors, leading to the progression of cancer in different organs. Detection of disseminated tumor cells in the blood or bone marrow is a negative prognostic factor for cancer patients.
Is brain tumor non-infectious?
It is not infectious.
Is breast cancer infectious?
No, breast cancer is not infectious. It is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells when they grow uncontrollably. The causes of breast cancer are primarily genetic and environmental factors, not due to any infectious agent.
How are tumor cells different cells?
Mitosis is not regulated in tumor cells
Is a Wilms tumor infectious or noninfectious?
Wilms tumor is a cancerous tumor (noninfectious). It is a leading cause of cancer in young children, affecting the kidney and its development.
How are tumor cells different from normal cells?
Cell division is not regulated in tumor cells.
Is brain tumor a non communicable disease or genetic or infectious?
non communicable...
What does malignant neoplasm progression mean?
Malignant (very virulent or infectious) Neoplasm (abnormal gorwth of cells). It is sometimes defined as cancer. Technically, Malignant Neoplastic Progession is the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells or tissue which eventually forms a tumor.
What is the medical term meaning tumor of immature bone cells?
Osteosarcoma is the medical term meaning tumor of immature bone cells.
What is the medical term meaning compression of surrounding cells by the tumor cells?
The medical term for compression of surrounding cells by tumor cells is "mass effect." This occurs when a tumor grows and displaces nearby tissues or organs, causing them to become compressed or distorted. It can lead to various symptoms depending on the location and size of the tumor.
How do maligant tumor cells differ to benige tumor cells?
Malignant tumor cells are cancerous, tend to grow rapidly, spread to other parts of the body, and can be life-threatening. Benign tumor cells are non-cancerous, grow slowly, do not invade nearby tissues, and are typically not life-threatening.
Can brain tumor cells transit through blood vessels?
Some can, not all. If the tumor contains cells that can it will metastasize.
What tumor cells travel to another part of the body and form a new tumor what is the process called?
Metastasis
