Cell Biology Chapter 12 | Cancer Biology: Hallmarks, Oncogenes, Metastasis & Therapies
Welcome to Chapter 12 of the MedicoMedics Cell Biology series: Cancer Biology.
This lecture explores the molecular basis of cancer, from genetic mutations to tumor behavior and advanced therapies. We cover key concepts such as oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, angiogenesis, metastasis, and how these disruptions lead to the hallmark features of cancer.
With clear explanations and high-yield summaries, this video is ideal for learners studying cell biology, oncology, or preparing for exams where cancer mechanisms are tested.
🧬 Topics covered in this lecture:
• The Hallmarks of Cancer: uncontrolled growth, immortality, immune evasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis
• Oncogenes vs. Tumor Suppressor Genes: how mutations drive or permit cancer growth
• DNA Repair Genes and their role in genomic stability
• Angiogenesis and Metastasis: how tumors grow and spread through blood and lymph
• The molecular basis of therapy:
• Targeted drugs (e.g., HER2, EGFR inhibitors)
• Immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibitors)
• Angiogenesis inhibitors (e.g., bevacizumab)
• Gene therapy and personalized treatment strategies
📘 This video is ideal for:
• Medical, nursing, and biology students
• Learners in oncology, molecular medicine, and biomedical sciences
• Anyone wanting to understand the link between genetic mutations and cancer treatment
