Question

1. Describe the progression of Henrietta’s cancer in the eight months between her diagnosis and her death.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cancer may be defined as the uncontrolled cell division due to mutation in the cells involved in the cell cycle progression. Two main types of tumor are malignant tumor and benign tumor.

The body was completely taken and controlled by the tumor cells. The tumor has grown over the bladder, lungs and diaphragm. The intestine is completely blocked and this causes the swelling in the blood. She needs the blood transfusions regularly because the kidney is not able to clear and filter the blood toxins.
