Informations sur le cancer

Le cancer est une maladie caractérisée par une prolifération cellulaire anormale et anomique au sein d’un tissu normal de l’organisme. Ces cellules dérivent toutes d’un même clone, cellule initiatrice du cancer qui a acquis certaines caractéristiques lui permettant de se diviser indéfiniment. Au cours de l’évolution de la maladie, certaines cellules peuvent migrer de leur lieu de production et former des métastases.
