Cancer or neoplasm is a disorder that occurs in the chromosome, the genetic material of a cell. These disorders generally occur in the regions of the chromosome that contain genes responsible for cell growth, growth arrest, aging, and death. Chromosomal disorders such as deletions and translocations are observed in these regions. Molecular alterations may not be detected in every tumor. If detected, specific drugs (smart drugs) can significantly contribute to the treatment of the disease.
In fact, when all tumors appear, our bodies recognize these cells as foreign and can destroy them through our immune system. However, cancer cells can change over time and lose their antigenic properties. This allows them to evade our body's immune system. Treatments that attempt to reveal the altered antigenic structure of these cancer cells, restore their antigenic structure, and enable them to be destroyed by our own immune system are called immunotherapy.
All necessary procedures regarding the information given above can be carried out in our laboratory.
