Cancer comes from within us. It is a disease of abnormal growth of
the cells that make up the organs of our body. To be lethal, in addition to abnormal growth, cancer cells
must acquire the ability to invade other organs and spread throughout the
body. Understanding the key
features or hallmarks of cancer is a basis for designing treatments designed to
fight it. The basis features that
all cancers share are:
1) The ability to grow in a self-sufficient manner,
regardless of the body’s needs.
2) Resistance to the natural anti-growth
instructions from the body.
3) The ability to grow and evade natural death; in
a manner of speaking, cancer cells are immortal. When
grown in a laboratory, and as long as they are fed, cancer cells grow
forever.
4) The ability to invade and spread throughout the
body
5) The ability to grow its own blood supply.
