Cancer is a general term for a large group of diseases, whose causes, characteristics, and occurrence can vary. All of them are characterized by the development of abnor mal cells that divide uncontrollably and infiltrate and disrupt normal body tissue. Cancer has a major impact on society across the world, and, in fact, there were 19.3 million new cases in 2020 worldwide (Fig. 1) (https://www.iarc.who.int/). Among these statistics, breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, and stomach highlight as the most common cancer types, with more than 1 million cases each. Moreover, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the number of new cases per year is expected to rise to 29.5 million by 2040 (https://www.iarc.who.int/).

Abstract
Cancer is a general term for a large group of diseases, whose causes, characteristics, and occurrence can vary. All of them are characterized by the development of abnor mal cells that divide uncontrollably and infiltrate and disrupt normal body tissue. Cancer has a major impact on society across the world, and, in fact, there were 19.3 million new cases in 2020 worldwide (Fig. 1) (https://www.iarc.who.int/). Among these statistics, breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, and stomach highlight as the most common cancer types, with more than 1 million cases each. Moreover, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the number of new cases per year is expected to rise to 29.5 million by 2040 (https://www.iarc.who.int/).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
