Cells normally divide in a controlled way through the cell cycle to replace old cells, but cancer can occur if the process goes wrong. Cancer cells divide uncontrollably and faster than normal cells, grouping together to form tumors. Unlike healthy cells, cancer cells can travel through the body and damage other organs by spreading the disease. The main treatments for eradicating cancer cells are surgery to remove tumors, radiation to target individual cells, and chemotherapy which kills quickly dividing cells.

  • Voice-over: Discusses the role of cells, their functioning, and transition from healthy division to potential issues like cancer.

Voice-over

Cells are the smallest functioning unit of life.

Your cells are always fighting to keep you alive and well.

Cells in the body are multiplying constantly, making perfect copies of your DNA.

But if for some reason this process goes wrong, the cell mutates and become cancerous.

Let me explain...

Imagine the healthy body as a coral reef. Now imagine every fish in the coral reef is a different
functioning cell.

Look at this young healthy cell, on its journey in G1 phase, where its job is to grow bigger and
produce protein.

When it's the right size, the cell progresses to the next phases of its development called the S and
G2 phase.
During these phases the cell makes a copy of the DNA and grows some more.
Finally, when everything is prepared and mistakes are repaired, the cell is ready to multiply.

So begins the last phase of the cell cycle... Mitosis.

The two identical copies of the DNA are shared between the two daughter cells and they separate.

And the cells just keep dividing.

But what if something goes wrong? What if the mistakes cannot be reversed or go unnoticed? That
is when a cell becomes cancerous...
Cancer cells divide like healthy cells - but with one difference; they multiply faster. When the cancer
cells group together, we call them a tumor.
Unlike healthy cells, Cancer cels do not stay in one place. They travel around the body and attack
other organs, damaging the whole system and spreading the disease.
Cancer is very dangerous and can prove fatal.
However, there are three main treatments by which to eradicate cancer cells.

A tumor can be removed with surgery - while radiation treatment targets individual cells.

Chemotherapy is one of the most common cancer treatments. Chemotherapy cannot differentiate
between healthy and cancerous cells, killing any cell type that multiplies quickly

Once the tumor is removed, the body can start its recovery, which might take a while, but with time
everything should go back to how it's supposed to be.
