Emergence definition

Adrenal cortex cancer that forms in the outer layer of tissue of the adrenal gland and that has material basis in abnormally proliferating cells derives from epithelial cells, where the cancer emerges as an abnormal process of cell growth and transformation, driven by energy and occurring over time, resulting in a predictable and repeatable pattern of changes in cellular structure and behavior.
