Tumor Cell Apoptosis Induction
- Molecular classification
- Signaling pathway, Cellular process
01
Overview
Tumor cell apoptosis induction refers to the process of triggering programmed cell death (apoptosis) specifically in cancer cells. This mechanism is a central strategy in anticancer therapies, as it enables the selective elimination of malignant cells while sparing normal tissue. Apoptosis can be initiated through two primary pathways: the extrinsic (death receptor-mediated) and intrinsic (mitochondrial-mediated) pathways.
