THEOLOGY OF PAUL M.M.NINAN ___________________________________________________________ smoking further damages the cells and may increase the risk of developing cancer. Some people may inherit partly damaged genes from their parents. Since their genes are abnormal to begin with, relatively few insults or errors during cell division may cause the development of cancer in these people. These people are said to have an inherited a genetic mutation that predisposes them to cancer. Any one of the hundreds of types of cells in the body in theory can change in to cancer, but some types of cells are more prone to be converted to cancer cells compared to rest of the cell types and subsequently the most common types of cancers can be traced to few cell types. For example the glands in the milk duct of females is highly susceptible to cancer development making breast cancer a very common form of cancer, where as it is extremely rare for the heart muscle to turn malignant. There are over 200 different types of cancer that can occur in humans. They all may behave differently from each other and may have different causes, different symptoms and may require different types of treatment. Normal cells stop growing once they come in contact with another cell. This phenomenon is called contact inhibition. Cancer cells tend to lose contact inhibition thereby they may grow on top of each other, or erode in to the surrounding tissues. Cells that have lost growth control usually stay or clump together to form tumors. 1Co 5:6 Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 42
THEOLOGY OF PAUL M.M.NINAN ___________________________________________________________ A tumor can be non cancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). Benign tumors usually stay in one place in the body and do not erode in to the surrounding structures; on the other hand malignant tumors may erode in to the surrounding tissues. The malignant tumors may also erode in to the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. After eroding, the malignant tumor cells may be showered in to the blood or lymphatic stream and may travel to different parts of the body, where they may start a secondary growth. This phenomenon of cancer cells traveling through the blood or lymphatic vessels, to form secondary growth in sites that are far away from the original tumor is called metastasis. When cells from a cancer like breast cancer spread to another organ like the lung, the cancer is still called breast cancer with lung metastasis, not lung cancer. The tissue type from which a cancer originates as well as the nature of the underlying genetic changes largely determines the behavior of that cancer. The lung metastasis from the breast cancer behaves like breast cancer and would generally respond to the same type of drugs used in the treatment of breast cancer. Again the type of cell from which the cancer originated will generally determine the speed at which it grows, and its resistance to treatment, but at the same cancers arising from the same tissue may often show marked variations in behavior. For example breast cancer in one person may grow very slowly over a period of several years, where as in another person with breast cancer, which is arising from the same cell type, may have very aggressive course and may progress in few weeks. A cancer is an uncontrolled proliferation of cells. • In some the rate is fast; in others, slow; but in all cancers the cells never stop dividing. • This distinguishes cancers — malign tumors — from benign growths like moles where their cells eventually stop dividing. • Cancers are clones. No matter how many trillions of cells are present in the cancer, they are all descended from a single ancestral cell. • Cancers begin as a primary tumor. Most (maybe all) solid tumors shed cells into the lymph and blood. Most of these lack the potential to develop into tumors. However, some of the shed cells are able to take up residence and establish secondary tumors — metastases — in other locations of the body. Metastasis is what usually kills the patient. Invasive cancer cells migrate from the primary tumor site into the surrounding tissue towards blood vessels. These cells then penetrate the vessel wall (intravasate), gaining access to the vessel lumen. Cells are then carried to distant organs by normal blood flow, where they lodge in small capillaries of various organs. These cells can then extravasate through the vessel wall into the surrounding tissue, where they form secondary tumors. This process is the major cause of death in cancer patients and there are no therapeutic agents to prevent the spread of cancer. We can see the close comparison between Sin within the Body of God (which is formed by every sentient being within the cosmos) and how Cancer functions within the Body of a living organism. Every creature within the cosmos is alive and active and is expected to be responsible to their own purpose and position. When they follow 43
