cancer
A disease of unregulated cell division: cells divide inappropriately and accumulate, in some instances forming a tumor.
chemotherapy
The treatment of disease, specifically cancer, by the use of chemicals.
cell division
The process by which a cell reproduces itself; it is important for normal growth, development, and repair of an organism.
cell cycle
An ordered sequence of stages that a cell progresses through in order to divide during its life; the stages includes preparatory phases (G1, S, G2) and division phases (mitosis and cytokinesis).
interphase
The stage of the cell cycle in which cells spend most of their time, preparing for cell division. There are three distinct phases (G1, S, G2).
mitosis
The segregation and separation of duplicated chromosomes during cell division.
sister chromatid
One of the two identical DNA molecules that make up a duplicated chromosome following DNA replication.
centromere
The specialized region of a chromosome where the sister chromatids are joined. This site is critical for proper alignment and separation of sister chromatids during mitosis.
cytokinesis
The physical division of a cell into two daughter cells.
G1 phase
The cell enlarges, creates additional cytoplasm, and begins to produce new organelles.
S phase
DNA replication occurs. Each chromosome is replicated to produce two identical sister chromatids.
G2 phase
The final preparatory stage, during which the cell prepares for division.
cell cycle checkpoint
A cellular mechanism that ensures each stage of the cell cycle is completed accurately.
apoptosis
Programmed cell death; often referred to as cellular suicide.
metastasis
The spread of cancer cells from one location in the body to another.
radiation therapy
The use of ionizing (high-energy) radiation to treat cancer.
