Cancer is a malignant cellular disorder caused by the abnormal growth of cells and has potential to spread to different parts of the body.

Explanation:

Cancer is a malignancy caused by uncontrolled cellular development due to genetic changes, such as mutations in DNA. These genetic changes can be inherited from the parents or arise as a result of errors that occur during cell division or due to DNA damage caused by certain environmental exposures such as the chemicals (tobacco smoke), radiation (ultraviolet rays from the sun), etc.

Normally, when human cells become old or damaged, they die and new cells take their place by controlled cell division. When cancer develops, some of the body cells begin to divide without stopping. Due to this uncontrolled cell division, more and more abnormal cells are formed. This causes the old or damaged cells to survive and new cells to form when they are not needed. These abnormal cells form growths called tumors, which have the ability to spread into surrounding tissues and travel to distant places in the body through the blood or the lymph system. This results in the formation of new tumors far from the original tumor.

Different types of cancer based on where it begins include carcinomas, sarcomas, leukemias, lymphomas, etc. Carcinomas include prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, etc. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood which begins when blood cells grow uncontrollably. Examples include acute and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute and chronic myeloid leukemia. Sarcomas develop in cartilage, bone, fat, muscles, nerves, etc and lymphoma starts in the lymphatic system (Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma).

In 1959, doctors began using the powerful antibiotic methicillin to treat infections of staphylococcus aureus, but within two years, methicillin-resistant strains of s. aureus (mrsa) appeared. how did the resistant strains of s. aureus emerge? in 1959, doctors began using the powerful antibiotic methicillin to treat infections of staphylococcus aureus, but within two years, methicillin-resistant strains of s. aureus (mrsa) appeared. how did the resistant strains of s. aureus emerge? staphylococcus aureus bacteria that were able to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin survived the methicillin treatments and reproduced at higher rates than did other individuals. over time, these resistant individuals became increasingly common. in response to treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections with methicillin, some bacteria began to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin. these bacteria survived the methicillin treatments and reproduced at higher rates than did other individuals. over time, these resistant individuals became increasingly common. in response to treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections with methicillin, bacterial populations gradually began to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin.
