What type of cell death is most often induced in cancer cells by radiation and chemotherapy drugs? Why is this? (ie- which factor is often missing in cancer cells?)
Homework Answers
Chemotherapy is used to kill the cancerous cells and reduce the tumors. It is used to destroy the cell division control center. Chemotherapy mainly targets the fast dividing cells and we know that the cancerous cells divide rapidly. So it leads to apoptosis of cancer cells.
The reasons behind uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells are-
-Lack of contact inhibition in which a cell stops to divide when come in contact with adjacent cells.
-Due to presence of telomerase enzyme.
- lack of tumor protein p53 which is required at checkpoint.
Thanks.

Customary treatment for metastatic cancer, chemotherapy and radiation, execute growth cells by inciting apoptosis. Be that as it may, disease cells get to be safe in view of numerous systems in particular, multidrug resistance pumps, temperamental genomes, changes, and so on. Propose elective medications that might be more fruitful against tumors and that don't include the apoptotic pathway (caspase-autonomous pathways). please include the page where you got it from.

Cancer cells often lack normal DNA damage response and cell-cycle control mechanisms. Why does this make them more susceptible to DNA-damaging chemotherapies? O Cancer cells will arrest in the cycle and will not grow further O Cancer cells with activating mutations in Ras will amplify the damage through the Ras signaling pathway Cancer cells might ignore the normal mechanisms that halt the cell cycle in response to damage, and subsequent division with damage leads to death, O Cancer cells have...

Chemotherapy targets fast growing cells in the body induding cancer cells and its side effects are caused by targeting non-cancer cells with a high mitotic rate. Which of the following tissue types would be most likely to be destroyed by chemotherapy because one of its key characteristics is a high regeneration rate? Oa. Dense regular connective tissue Ob. Simple columnar epithelium Oc. Cardiac muscle Od. Nervous tissue Oe. Hyaline cartilage QUESTION 2 Intercalated discs and striations suggest the presence of...
