Below is a structured, in-depth explanation covering biology, causes, progression, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and future directions. 1️⃣ Normal Cell Biology: The Foundation To understand cancer, we must first understand how normal cells behave. 🔬 The Cell Cycle Cells grow and divide through a tightly regulated process called the cell cycle , which has phases: G1 phase – Cell grows S phase – DNA replication G2 phase – Preparation for division M phase (mitosis) – Cell divides Special proteins called cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) control progression through these phases.
