Initiation Stage of Cancer Development

The initiation stage of cancer development marks the beginning of genetic mutations in the DNA of cells:

Occur spontaneously: Due to errors during DNA replication or exposure to environmental factors like radiation or chemicals.
Be inherited: Passed down from parents to children through faulty genes.

These mutations alter the normal functioning of cells, potentially leading to uncontrolled growth and the development of cancerous tumors.
