Genetic mutation is a cause of cancer

Genetic mutation

Genetic mutation is a common cause of cancer. At first Stanford University researcher found that the unique important cause of cancer is genetic mutation.  Genetic mutation is a permanant alteration of DNA sequence. In simply to say that genetic mutation is changes in the DNA sequence. But we know that mutation is a normal process in animals and plants. For the cause of genetic mutation the diversity of animals and plants causes.


Not each of the molecular changes we can say as mutation. Such types of molecular change that affect the nucleic acid we may refer as genetic mutation.
Nucleic acid is the main component of DNA. But in terms of Virus nucleic acid is the building block of both RNA and DNA.

In terms of evolutionary concept to survibal need somatic mutation happens.Somatic is the body related. Soma means body and it is a greek word.

As same cancer caused due to somatic mutation. cell mutation due to the survival need.

Abnormal cell division

Cell division Cell division is a normal process of living organism for their growing up and reproduction.  There have two major type of cell division. Mitosis cell division Meiosis cell division Abnormal cell division In 1890 a German researcher,  David Hanseman found an abnormal cell division when these dividing through mitosis cell division. But he could not found that why it is happening such types of cell division. David Gisselsson fron Lund University gives an idea why should abnormal cell division happens.  David Gisselsson have a wide range of study on chromosome number change in cancer cell.  An example may give that the chromosome number in cancer cell is deviated from the chromosome number in normal cell. Normal cell chromosome number is 46. But in skeletal and pancreatic cancer some cell may found that the chromosome number different from 46. Scientists of Lund University during mitosis cell division a certain types of cell faces with abnormaliti

Lung Cancer

Lung Cancer Lung cancer is a condition of abnormal cell division of Lung cell. Lung is a respiratory system main organ placed inside the chest cavity. Main function of lung is insertion of Oxygen and excretion of Carbon-Di-Oxide from the body. When abnormal cell division happens in lung cell due to abnormal DNA sequence then a footstep of carcinoma caused. Besides of other types of cancer such as Breast cancer, Cervical cancer, Bone cancer Lung cancer is also a life threatening cancer that causes significantly death if it left untreated. There are two main types of Lung cancer Non-small cell Lung cancer Small cell lung cancer Another special types of lung cancer is lung Carcinoid tumor. Most of the lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer. About 85% of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer. Squamous cell lung cancer, Adenocarcenoma and large cell carcinoma is such types of non-small cell lung cancer.
