Healthy vs. Cancer Cells Comparison

Healthy cells and cancer cells differ in key ways according to a Venn diagram comparison. Healthy cells have regular shapes, normal DNA functioning, and controlled growth and division, while cancer cells have irregular shapes, mutated DNA, and uncontrollable proliferation. Additionally, healthy cells can differentiate and be replaced when they die, whereas cancer cells do not mature or die as programmed.
