Describe the core hallmarks of cancer as shown in the image.
Understand the Problem
The image depicts the core hallmarks of cancer. These hallmarks are capabilities acquired by cancer cells that enable them to survive, proliferate, and spread. The image shows a circular diagram with various processes that contribute to cancer development.
Answer
The core hallmarks of cancer include sustaining proliferative signaling, evading growth suppressors, resisting cell death, enabling replicative immortality, inducing angiogenesis, and activating invasion and metastasis, alongside other factors.
The core hallmarks of cancer are: Sustaining proliferative signaling, evading growth suppressors, resisting cell death, enabling replicative immortality, inducing angiogenesis, activating invasion and metastasis, avoiding immune destruction, tumor-promoting inflammation, genome instability and mutation and deregulating cellular energetics.
Answer for screen readers
The core hallmarks of cancer are: Sustaining proliferative signaling, evading growth suppressors, resisting cell death, enabling replicative immortality, inducing angiogenesis, activating invasion and metastasis, avoiding immune destruction, tumor-promoting inflammation, genome instability and mutation and deregulating cellular energetics.
More Information
The hallmarks of cancer are characteristics obtained by cancer cells, during the multistep development of human tumors. These hallmarks orchestrate the transformation of normal cells into malignant cancer cells.
Tips
A common mistake is to only name a few of the hallmarks. Make sure to provide a complete list.
