Cancer biology is a multidisciplinary field that explores the complexities of cancer, a disease characterised by uncontrolled cell growth and proliferation. It delves into the molecular, cellular, and systemic mechanisms underlying the development, progression, and treatment of various types of cancer. It involves understanding the intricate interplay between genetic, molecular, cellular mechanisms, environmental, and lifestyle factors that contribute to oncogenesis, their behaviour, and the interaction between tumours and the body’s systems. Researchers in cancer biology strive to unravel the mysteries of tumour formation, metastasis, immune evasion, and drug resistance to develop more effective diagnostic tools and innovative therapies that target cancer at its core. This field is dynamic and continuously evolving, driven by the urgent need to combat one of the most challenging health issues globally.
