DescriptionDNA damage can lead to apoptosis or cancer.jpg
English: DNA damage is largely repaired in replicating cells. If the level of DNA damage exceeds repair capability, this ordinarily results in programmed cell death (apoptosis). However, cells that are resistant to apoptosis will accumulate DNA damage leading to mutations and potentially cancer.
