Hallmarks of Cancer

The complexity of cancer can be distilled into a logical set of underlying principles, commonly referred to as the "Hallmarks of Cancer." These hallmarks represent the essential biological capabilities acquired during the multistep development of human tumors.

By conceptualizing cancer not as a single disease, but as a diverse collection of maladies sharing these fundamental traits, researchers and clinicians can better understand tumor pathogenesis. The interplay between these capabilities dictates tumor survival, proliferation, and eventual dissemination...
