oncogenic types

Oncogenic types refer to specific genes or genetic mutations that have the potential to cause cancer. These genes, called oncogenes, normally help regulate cell growth and division. However, when they become altered or mutated, they can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, forming tumors. In other words, oncogenic types are genetic changes that turn normal cells into cancerous ones, playing a key role in the development and progression of different cancers. Understanding these types helps researchers develop targeted therapies to treat and prevent cancer.
