It is a type of 'keyhole' surgery where only very small cuts (incisions) are made to the body. VATS uses a special instrument called a thoracoscope. VATS uses a special instrument called a thoracoscope.
The cells in G0 phase do not go through mitosis whatsoever. These cells only do what they are initially suppose to do, and do not prepare for a division. Many cells in your body are like this. Brain cells are in G0 phase and do not EVER replace itself. However, many cells may also trigger its phase from G0 phase to G1 phase when more cells are needed. When a liver is critically damaged, the liver cells are triggered back to G1 phase to replenish its lost cells.
Pictures of cancer cells show that cancerous cells lose the ability to stop dividing when they contact similar cells. Cancer cells no longer have the normal checks and balances in place that control and limit cell division. The process of cell division, whether normal or cancerous cells, is through the cell cycle.The cell cycle goes from the resting phase, through active growing phases, and then to mitosis (division).The ability of chemotherapy to kill cancer cells depends on its ability to halt cell division.sually, cancer drugs work by damaging the RNA or DNA that tells the cell how to copy itself in division. If the cancer cells are unable to divide, they die. The faster that cancer cells divide, the more likely it is that chemotherapy will kill the cells, causing the tumor to shrink.
