    study of how normal cells become cancerous and spread

    Cancer Biology is the study of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that lead to the development and progression of cancer. It involves understanding how normal cells transform into cancerous cells, how they grow uncontrollably, and how they spread to other parts of the body. This field also explores genetic mutations, signaling pathways, and the tumor microenvironment, providing insights that are crucial for developing targeted therapies and improving cancer treatment.
