It is thus different from apoptosis, which is not a form of accidental cell death, and which is characterized by cell shrinkage Trump et al, 1998; Levin et al, 1998). Cell death caused by ischemia is often associated with features of oncosis.
The term oncosis is used frequently to mean necrosis or to refer to the early phase of primary necrosis. Both types of cell death
