Deep Insights into Cancer
The science of cancer involves understanding the biology of cancer cells, their growth mechanisms, causes, potential reversals, and treatment options. Here’s a comprehensive overview of these aspects, supported by scientific sources.
Understanding Cancer Cells and Growth
1. Cellular Mechanisms: Cancer arises from mutations in genes that regulate cell division and growth. These mutations can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation, evasion of apoptosis (programmed cell death), and the ability to invade surrounding tissues and metastasize to distant sites (Hanahan & Weinberg, 2011).
