Pathophysiology of Cancer: How Tumors Form at the Cellular Level #90628 (License: Personal Use)

The image depicts two key pathological processes in carcinogenesis: on the left, a cancer cell loses adhesion molecules, detaching from surrounding tissue; on the right, proliferating cancer cells invade and compress normal epithelial layers, forming a visible tumor mass. Annotations clarify molecular changes, cellular behavior, and structural disruption in early tumorigenesis.

Used in oncology education, patient information pages, or medical textbooks to explain cancer initiation and progression; matches user intent for understanding how tumors develop biologically.
