Tumor Cell Apoptosis Pathway

Molecular classification
Signaling pathway, Regulatory network
01

Overview

The tumor cell apoptosis pathway refers to the molecular mechanisms by which cancer (tumor) cells undergo programmed cell death. Dysregulation of these pathways allows tumor cells to evade death and continue proliferating. Key pathways include the intrinsic (mitochondrial) and extrinsic (death receptor-mediated) pathways. Many anticancer therapies aim at reactivating these pathways.
