Application: The correlation between smoking and incidence of cancers.
Skill: Determination of a mitotic index from a micrograph.

Tumour = the clump of the excessive cells due to the non-regular cell cycle
Cancer
Metastasis = the spreading of cancer cells from the original area to other places within the bod
Mutagen = agents that alter DNA, not 100% is carcinogen

Oncogene = genes with potential to cause cancer
