Tumor cell biology
• Genetical basis
• Damage to DNA sequence
• Activation of oncogenes (4-6)
Adaptation
• Increased energy demand
• Activation of basic metabolic pathways
• Expression of primitive receptor sets
De-differentiation
• Uncontrolled proliferation
• Loss of complex pathways
• Inefficient energy utilization
