Abstract

Cancer is among the most deadly diseases known, with 13 million new cancer cases and about 8 million casualties worldwide each year. This chapter introduces the current status and causes of cancer, and the characteristics of cancer tissues including abnormal metabolism, abnormal vasculature, resistance to anti-proliferative growth factors (GFs), unlimited replicative potential, immune system activation and inflammation, and interstitial pressure.
