Epithelium And Cancer
Question:

What are two attributes of epithelial tissue that makes cancer more likely to develop?

Help me out... I am stuck.




Doctor George's reply:


1. The epithelium is at the outer layer of protection of the body. This enables mutagens easy access.

2. High turnover rate (cells are constantly replaced by new ones) makes them susceptible to mutation.
