Cancer Molecular Biology
Molecular biology plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. On a biological level, the development of cancer is characterized by the acquisition of genetic mutations which cause abnormal cell growth, eventually resulting in malignant disease. Understanding how molecular damage can cause these cancer-driving mutations can help design optimal treatment regimens
