The hallmarks of cancer described by Hanahan and Weinberg have proved seminal in our understanding of cancer's common traits and in rational drug design. Not free of critique and with understanding of different aspects of tumorigenesis coming into clearer focus in the recent years, we attempt to draw a more organized and updated picture of the cancer hallmarks. We define seven hallmarks of cancer: selective growth and proliferative advantage, altered stress response favoring overall survival, vascularization, invasion and metastasis, metabolic rewiring, an abetting microenvironment, and immune modulation, while highlighting some considerations for the future of the field.
事实证明,哈纳汉和温伯格所描述的癌症特征在我们对癌症共同特征的理解以及合理的药物设计方面具有开创性意义。尽管并非毫无争议,且近年来对肿瘤发生不同方面的理解日益清晰,但我们试图勾勒出一幅更有条理且更新的癌症特征图景。我们定义了癌症的七个特征:选择性生长和增殖优势、有利于整体生存的应激反应改变、血管生成、侵袭和转移、代谢重编程、支持性微环境以及免疫调节,同时强调了该领域未来的一些考量因素。
