Cancer DALYs attributable to 11 Level 2 risk factors globally in 2019. [130] Cancer prevention is defined as active measures to decrease cancer risk. [131] The vast majority of cancer cases are due to environmental risk factors. Many of these environmental factors are controllable lifestyle choices. Thus, cancer is generally preventable. [132]
Scientist Otto Warburg, whose research activities led to the formulation of the Warburg hypothesis for explaining the root cause of cancer.. The Warburg hypothesis (/ ˈ v ɑːr b ʊər ɡ /), sometimes known as the Warburg theory of cancer, postulates that the driver of carcinogenesis (cancer formation) is insufficient cellular respiration caused by insult (damage) to mitochondria.

The hallmarks of cancer were originally six biological capabilities acquired during the multistep development of human tumors and have since been increased to eight capabilities and two enabling capabilities. The idea was coined by Douglas Hanahan and Robert Weinberg in their paper "The Hallmarks of Cancer" published January 2000 in Cell. [1]
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)).

Cancer systems biology therefore adopts a holistic view of cancer [6] aimed at integrating its many biological scales, including genetics, signaling networks, [7] epigenetics, [8] cellular behavior, mechanical properties, [9] histology, clinical manifestations and epidemiology. Ultimately, cancer properties at one scale, e.g., histology, are ...
In their landmark paper, The Hallmarks of Cancer, [3] Hanahan and Weinberg suggest that cancer can be described by a small number of underlying principles, despite the complexities of the disease. The authors describe how tumor progression proceeds via a process analogous to Darwinian evolution, where each genetic change confers a growth ...
The Annual Review of Cancer Biology was first published in 2017, making it the 47th journal title published by Annual Reviews. [5] The stated goals of the journal were to cover the biology of tumor cells, the interaction between the tumor cells and host cells, cancer genomes, drugs for treating cancer, and the resistance of cancer to certain drugs.
