Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Context:

  • Cancer is a complex disease driven by genetic alterations.
  • Tumorigenesis involves genetic defects in proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes.
  • Both inherited and acquired genetic changes contribute to cancer development.

Purpose:

  • To elucidate the multi-step genetic basis of cancer.
  • To describe the biological processes involved in tumor formation and metastasis.
  • To highlight emerging therapeutic strategies based on cancer biology.

Summary:

  • Cancer development is a multi-step process driven by accumulating genetic mutations.
  • Tumors create their own supportive infrastructure and interact with the immune system.
  • Metastasis occurs when cancer cells invade tissues and spread to distant organs.
