Cancer Research at PCOM 
Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment

Cancer is the manifestation of abnormalities within cells that result in uncontrolled proliferation and modifications of their environment that promote invasion and metastasis.

PCOM researchers study various properties of tumor cells, including genetic predispositions and environmental factors and molecular pathways that regulate transformation and malignancy. Our work has led to the identification of molecules that may be specifically targeted for diagnosis and treatment.
