The Complexity of Cancer

Cancer is one of the most challenging diseases in modern medicine. Despite decades of research, a single cure remains elusive. The complexity of cancer lies in its development, adaptability, and resistance to treatment. While significant progress has been made in therapies, the fight against cancer continues. This blog explores how cancer cells develop, why a universal cure remains out of reach, and the promising advancements shaping the future of treatment. Cancer begins at the cellular level when normal cells undergo genetic mutations that disrupt their ability to regulate growth and division. These mutations can be triggered by environmental factors, genetic predisposition, and lifestyle choices. The process of cancer development, known as carcinogenesis , occurs in three main stages: initiation, promotion, and progression. Initiation: The First Mutation Cancer starts when a cell acquires genetic mutations that alter its normal function. These mutations may result from exposure to c...
