  2. Tumor-homing bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumor-homing_bacteria

    Tumor homing bacteria can be genetically engineered to enhance their anti-tumor activities and be used to transport therapeutic materials based on medical needs. [7] They are usually transformed into a plasmid that contains the specific gene expression of these therapeutic proteins of the bacteria. After the plasmid reaches the target site, the ...

  3. Carcinogenic bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinogenic_bacteria

    Bacteria involved in causing and treating cancers. Cancer bacteria are bacteria infectious organisms that are known or suspected to cause cancer. [1] While cancer-associated bacteria have long been considered to be opportunistic (i.e., infecting healthy tissues after cancer has already established itself), there is some evidence that bacteria may be directly carcinogenic.

    The subtype has already proven that it can enter cancer cells quite easily, so it might be possible to genetically modify the bacteria to carry cancer-fighting drugs directly into the tumors ...

  6. Causes of cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_cancer

    Hereditary cancers are primarily caused by an inherited genetic defect. A cancer syndrome or family cancer syndrome is a genetic disorder in which inherited genetic mutations in one or more genes predisposes the affected individuals to the development of cancers and may also cause the early onset of these cancers. Although cancer syndromes ...

  7. Carcinogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinogenesis

    The central role of DNA damage and epigenetic defects in DNA repair genes in carcinogenesis. DNA damage is considered to be the primary cause of cancer. [17] More than 60,000 new naturally-occurring instances of DNA damage arise, on average, per human cell, per day, due to endogenous cellular processes (see article DNA damage (naturally occurring)).

  9. Oncogenomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oncogenomics

    Oncogenomics is a sub-field of genomics that characterizes cancer-associated genes.It focuses on genomic, epigenomic and transcript alterations in cancer. Cancer is a genetic disease caused by accumulation of DNA mutations and epigenetic alterations leading to unrestrained cell proliferation and neoplasm formation.
