Tumor biology

Cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, invasion of local tissues, and the ability to metastasize to distant organs. This article explores the properties of cancer cells, including loss of apoptosis, metabolic reprogramming, and genetic instability. It also examines the etiology of carcinogenesis, focusing on radiation, chemical carcinogens, and viral oncogenesis. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for cancer prevention and treatment strategies
