What is the difference between an undifferentiated cancer cell and a differentiated cancer cell?
An undifferentiated cancer cell is one that looks and acts very different from a normal cell, while a differentiated cell looks pretty close to a normal cell. There are degrees of differentiation in between. The more poorly the cancer cell is differentiated, the more aggressive it is.
