Hallmarks of Cancer Hallmarks, Overview Cancer is a disease that affects people of all nationalities and age groups and all cancers start with mutations in one cell.
Categories Hallmarks of Cancer Causes and Prevention Diagnosis and Treatment Pathways to Cancer
Hallmarks, Growing uncontrollably Professor Robert Weinberg explains that cancer cells have to learn how to grow in the absence of growth stimulatory signals that normal cells require from their environment. Hallmarks, Evading death Professor Robert Weinberg discusses how cancer cells have to learn how to avoid the process of programmed cell death known as apoptosis carried out in normal cells. Hallmarks, Processing nutrients Professor Robert Weinberg explains how cancer cells have to learn how to become angiogenic, that is to say attract blood vessels to grow into the tumor mass. Hallmarks, Becoming immortal Professor Robert Weinberg explains how normal cells can only double a certain limited number of times; and cancer cells have to learn how to proliferate indefinitely, i.e, they have to become immortalized. Hallmarks, Invading tissues Professor Robert Weinberg, explains that cancer cells have to learn how to invade and metastasize. Hallmarks, Avoiding detection Bruce Stillman, Ph.D. is president and chief executive officer of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, explains that there are two adaptive immune responses, and those immune responses adapt to changes in cells in our body whether they be by infection or other. Hallmarks, Promoting mutations Bruce Stillman, Ph.D., president of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, explains that genomic instability is a characteristic of cancer cells.
