Proteins and Cancer Therapy-A Complicated Duet

Abstract

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, with some forms of exhibiting low survival rates due to poor prognosis and absence of early diagnosis. To effectively treat cancer, various interactions governing cellular subdivision and growth must be investigated. Carcinogenic tissue growth and metastasis are directed by genetic modifications due to genetic and epigenetic changes, which include the activation of certain oncogenes directly affecting their mutation.
