Cancer Pathobiology, Tumorigenesis, and Cancer Prevention and Treatment
The ability of cancers to develop is attributed to a set of hallmarks: unlimited growth, resistance to cell death (apoptosis), a blood supply (angiogenesis), evasion of the body’s immune system, and ability to leave the primary tumor site and grow in other organs (invasion and metastasis). Our scientists continue to work to understand these hallmarks of cancer to further clarify mechanisms contributing to this complex disease and to develop novel therapeutic remedies.
