Chemistry and Cancer

Note Description

Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, invasion of surrounding tissues, and the potential to spread to distant organs. At its core, cancer is a genetic and molecular disease driven by mutations that disrupt normal cellular functions. Chemistry plays a pivotal role ni understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer, as well as ni the development of diagnostic tools and treatments. This overview explores how chemical processes contribute to cancer development, how chemistry aids ni cancer diagnosis, and the advances in chemical therapies designed to combat this complex set of diseases.
