what is cancer genetics ?

Cancer genetics is the study of genetic mutations and alterations that drive the initiation, progression, and metastasis of cancer. It focuses on understanding the roles of oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, genomic instability, hereditary cancer syndromes, and epigenetic changes, providing insights into cancer diagnosis, prevention, and targeted therapies.
