The versatility of cancer lies in its ability to adapt, survive, and thrive in various environments within the body. Different factors contribute to this versatility:
Genetic Mutations: Cancer cells often have multiple genetic mutations that allow them to proliferate uncontrollably. Microenvironment Adaptation: Cancer cells can modify their surrounding microenvironment to support their growth and spread. Metabolic Flexibility: Cancer cells can alter their metabolism to survive under different conditions, such as low oxygen levels. Immune System Evasion: Cancer cells can evade detection by the immune system, making them harder to target and eliminate.
