Study Notes
Cell Death in Cancer
- Normal cells die in an orderly manner when damaged or no longer needed.
- Cancer cells avoid this programmed cell death (apoptosis).
- Targeted therapies can induce apoptosis in cancer cells.
Hormone Therapies for Cancer
- Some cancers (e.g., breast, prostate) need specific hormones to grow.
- Hormone therapies target hormone production or action.
- Some therapies prevent the body from producing specific hormones.
- Others block hormones from interacting with cancer cells.

Description
Explore the critical processes of cell death in cancer and the role of hormone therapies in cancer treatment. This quiz covers how cancer cells evade apoptosis and the targeted therapies that can trigger cell death. Additionally, it delves into the specific hormone-dependent cancers and the therapies designed to disrupt hormone activity.
