Cancer Cell Growth Rate : Cells work like the defense army of our body, which cleans every enemy and keeps the body healthy and alive. Actually, we all have about 30 lakh crore cells in our body, which grow in a controlled manner in a pattern and after a time they die on their own. The destroyed cells are replaced by new and healthy cells.
Healthy cells keep eating old dead cells, thereby cleaning the body. If any cell changes its pattern or tries to damage the body, then healthy cells eat them and destroy them. But this pattern of cells then gets disturbed. In such a situation, let us know how fast cancerous cells grow, what is the process of their growth…
Why do cells grow in cancer?
When cancer occurs in the body, the controlling effect of the cells starts to end and within a short time the cells start growing and dividing exponentially in an uncontrolled manner. Their uncontrolled growth becomes a tumor. Despite continuous research, very effective and affordable treatment for cancer has not been available yet. Chemotherapy is the most effective so far, which helps in stopping the abnormal growth of cells.

How fast do cancer cells grow?
The speed of growth of cancer cells depends on the cancer grade. In high grade aggressive cancer, cells spread rapidly, whereas in low grade cancer it takes 3-6 months. In fact,
Cancer grade is decided on the basis of 3 conditions. Cancerous and healthy cells are compared. There are many types of tissues in the group of healthy cells, whereas in case of cancer, a group of similar but abnormal cells is visible in the test, this is called low grade cancer. When cancerous cells become visible separately from healthy cells during examination, it is called high grade tumor. Depending on the grade of cancer, it can be determined how fast it can spread.
How is the grade of cancer determined, how is it different from the cancer stage?
The stages and grades of cancer are different. The stage of cancer shows to what extent the disease has spread in the body, while the grade tells how much the tumor has the ability to spread in the body. Whether the patient is at any stage or grade of cancer is decided on three grounds. 1- How different the cancer cells are from the healthy cells present in the body, the more different they are, the more the grade will increase. 2- Division: How fast the cancer cells are breaking and growing in the body, the greater their number, the more serious the cancer. 3- Tumor cells: The number of cells in the tumor, which are gradually dying.
Growth rate of cancer cells based on grade
In grade 1 cancer cells look like normal cells and grow very slowly.
In grade 2 cancer cells do not look like normal cells and grow faster than in grade 1.
In grade 3 cancer cells are very abnormal and grow very quickly. During this time the cancer has spread to large parts of the body.
