Abstract:
Cell death is a basic biological occurrence which is required for the existence and growth of an organism.1 Programmed cell death sustains tissue homeostasis facilitating the elimination of redundant cells.2 When an infectious disease sets in, cells that have been infected by pathogens prove harmful to the host eclls.2 Evidence has proved that cell death has a role in immune defense against infectious diseases.1 Cell death can be broadly classified based on its initiating events, such as apoptosis, pyroptosis and oncosis.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
