Description
This book provides an in-depth exploration of cancer, one of the most devastating diseases globally, contributing to millions of deaths annually. It discusses the mechanisms of cancer development, with a special focus on metastasis—the process by which cancer cells spread from primary tumors to other parts of the body, significantly contributing to cancer-related mortality. The book examines the molecular changes that drive cancer, with a focus on stem cell differentiation and the role of genetics in tumor progression. Additionally, it provides a global perspective on cancer statistics, highlighting the disparities in incidence and mortality rates between high-income and low-income countries, such as India. This comprehensive resource aims to provide critical insights into cancer’s impact on society, the various types of cancer, and current challenges in treatment, particularly in developing nations.
