Tumors originate from a mass of transformed cells that undergo abnormal growth and multiplication. Today, cancer, which refers to malignant tumors, is the second leading cause of death worldwide, with approximately 10 million deaths annually.
Cancer research focuses on the study of animal and cellular models for a variety of tumor types, including adenocarcinomas, pancreatic, breast, colon tumors, lymphomas, leukemias, brain tumors, and metastasis. In addition, research investigates tumor and metastatic biomarkers, hematopoietic neoplasms, thyroid tumors, hereditary cancer, and thyroid cancer. These research models are crucial for understanding the biological mechanisms underlying cancer development and progression. They allow scientists to explore new therapies, identify biomarkers that can predict treatment response, and improve prevention and diagnostic strategies. The use of animal and cellular models has led to significant advances in oncology, providing a platform for drug discovery and the development of personalized treatments that can increase survival and improve the quality of life for cancer patients.
