Cancer is a result of a disruption in the normal cell cycle. Normal human cells go through a cycle which is highly regulated and contains checkpoints to ensure cells are growing correctly. If a cell is abnormal in some way and does not pass the “inspection” at a checkpoint within the cell cycle it is degraded. Cells which proceed through the cell cycle in an unregulated manner are considered cancers.
