Abstract

Purpose of Review: Cancer biology is a field that has grown exponentially in the last several decades. Elucidating the mechanisms involved in tumor development, while broadening our understanding, continues to reveal unexplained phenomena. Attempting to understand cancer biology requires a framework from which to start; two landmark reviews from 2000 and 2011 by Hanahan and Weinberg present such a framework. With advances in cancer therapeutics, an appreciation of the underlying tumor biology is necessary to optimally care for patients in the perioperative period.
