the growth of brand new cells to continue in their cellular functions. Cells programmed death and renewal is
the process known as apoptosis. On the other hand, where old cells refuse to die, they tend to form colonies
starting from one point, which swells like a lump in the affected part of the body. The cells that make up the
lump thereafter become toxic to the body because, it destroys available cells and disturbs the growth of new
ones.
