Necessity
of Molecular Mechanism Elucidation
"...........Unlike heart
disease, cancer
is not a disease of a single human organ
but it is 200
different diseases, characterized by uncontrolled and destructive cell
growth............Cancer
develops through a complicated pathway at
the level of genes
.......the
challenge is to use knowledge of these cancer pathways in order to improve......."

Current
therapy is not so ideal and perfect......
Improvement of
current therapies requries knowledge of molecular mechanism
-Increasing our understanding of cancer from basic research remains the
key
to developing more effective approaches to prevention and treatment.
