Cancer as a Multi-Hit, Multi-Generational Process
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Cancer typically develops as successive divisions accumulate mutations in proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, each generation carrying more damage than the last.
Show
A cell with one damaged tumor suppressor gene may divide normally at first, but its daughters more readily acquire checkpoint-disabling mutations.
Watch for
This unit teaches cancer as mechanism, not guidance — naming a failure pathway is not screening or diagnosis.
