This page presents an incomplete and skewed overview of cancer cell biology. I am a subject specialist and would like to begin editing, but am relatively new to wikipedia so would welcome assistance from more experienced editors.

I think the key for this page is to show how a cancer cell differs from a normal cell. Many other aspects of cancer cell biology are covered in depth on other pages.

To begin, I'd like to suggest changes to the structure to provide a framework for edits:

insert section to describe the differences between cancer cells and normal cells

Causes Amend and expand - currently information presented places much emphasis on NK cells without exploring other areas in sufficient detail. Topic is well covered on carcinogenesis page. Suggest presenting a short summary and linking.

Pathology Histopathology could be interesting and valuable, and a good opportunity to use images.

Discovery Amend - general history of cancer is covered on cancer and history of cancer pages. Specific reference to discovery of cancer cells is a dead link, but would be good to verify and expand upon.

Telomerase Incorporate discussion of telomerase into new section on differences between cancer cells and normal cells.

Cancer stem cells and drug resistance Change to 'cancer stem cells' and cover the topic broadly with link to cancer stem cell page. Currently focus is specific and on one research area.
