Cancer and Wnt Pathway
Keywords:
Cancer, Wnt pathway, β –cateninAbstract
Today, mutations in genes, diet and lifestyle play a major role in causing cancer. Genetic factors are much lower on the list. Stress in particular can affect all our bodily functions, causing cancer cells to form and multiply uncontrollably. Stress and other factors negatively affect our immune system, making it unable to fight cancer stem cells. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway, which is an important pathway in cancer development, constitutes a key point for cancer treatment. In this proceeding review study, we will briefly discuss Wnt pathway in cancer.
