The Cheating Cell: How Evolution Helps Us Understand and Treat Cancer

2020-11-13

Abstract excerpt

In a landmark paper published in 2000, the cancer biologists Douglas Hanahan and Robert Weinberg synthesized decades of investigation in tumor biology to identify six core capabilities acquired by cancer cells during the development and progression of human malignancies. According to their schema, the hallmarks of cancer include sustained proliferation, evading growth suppressors, resisting cell death (apoptosis),...
