Cancer is mo
st accurately a class of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth or division. There are more than 100 types of cancer that can occur in nearly every organ or tissue in the body.
The risk of cancer increases with age and also with certain genetic predispositions and/or exposure to carcinogens. Various types of cancer have become more treatable as research efforts continue towards eradicating these diseases.
Research into the treatment of cancer has flourished particularly in the past decade, recently involving biotechnological tactics such as immunotherapy and gene therapy.
Current therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancers include surface proteins of malignant cells as wells as heat shock proteins and other molecules involved in signaling pathways for processes critical to cancer growth such as angiogenesis, cell differentiation, proliferation, and growth.
