A 41-year-old female with a family history of breast cancer has had a baseline mammogram. She states that she performs monthly self-breast exams but really has a hard time evaluating her lumps since she has numerous cysts.
 
  At her annual mammogram, the technician views a suspicious area and refers her to the radiologist. She asks the nurse in the office, How can a lump appear so quickly? The nurse's response is based on which of the following principles?
  A)
  A tumor is undetectable until it has doubled 30 times and contains at least 1 billion cells.
  B)
  Many tumor cells never leave the M-phase of the cell cycle.
  C)
  Cancer cells are undifferentiated and come in various shapes and sizes.
  D)
  If the breast has a lot of cysts, then the fluid within those sacs makes it difficult to feel the hard lumps of a cancer.
