Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, invasion and other traits that are collectively known as the hallmarks of cancer.\u00a0 Normal cells acquire these\u00a0neoplastic traits through the acquisition of mutations in key\u00a0oncogenes and tumour suppressors.\u00a0 Genetic instability plays a prominent role in cancer.\u00a0 First, genetic instability increases the chance of accumulating cancer mutations.\u00a0 Many therapeutic approaches target the genetic instability of tumour cells.\u00a0\u00a0 Unfortunately, the genetic heterogeneity found in genetically unstable tumours poses a challenge for cancer treatment.\u00a0 The various implications of genetic instability in carcinogenesis and cancer therapy\u00a0will be discussed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
