Tumors are caused due to uncontrolled growth of cells. Thus a mitosis inhibitor could be effective medication to treat tumor because it will inhibit cell proliferation and development of tumor.

Explanation:

  • Tumors are  mass of tissue that developed as a result of uncontrolled cell division.
  • Cell division is a continuous process in our body and it replaces old and damaged cells with new one.
  • But in case of tumors the cell division  takes place in uncontrollable manner and continues to add cells to the tissue while the cell death do not take place.
  • Ultimately an unwanted overgrown mass of cell develops that hinders with the normal functioning of the body.
  • Tumor are classified as benign tumor and malignant tumors.
  • Both these tumors need to be treated as they develop as an unwanted hindrance to the body metabolism.
  • The best way to check the growth of tumor is to inhibit the cell division in the tumor tissue.
  • Thus a mitotic inhibitor which will inhibit mitosis could be a good medication for treatment of tumors.
