Literature Review: Contemporary and Historical Treatments of Cancer

Abstract

This review will inspect two journals that feature divergent causes and treatments of cancer. The journals approach determinants of drug resistance in cancer, which includes tumor burden, tumor heterogeneity, physical barriers, and tumor microenvironments. Additionally, the journals describe indicators and causes of cancer growth, such as the deregulation of MYC transcription factors. Both journals go in depth about potential – and empirical – treatments to cancers, that depend on the type of cancer and tumor.
