Abstract

Biochemistry plays a pivotal role in unraveling the molecular mechanisms of cancer, enabling early diagnosis, accurate prognosis, and the development of targeted therapies. From understanding oncogene expression and tumor metabolism to designing enzyme-inhibitor-based drugs, biochemical approaches provide deep insights into cancer pathophysiology. This article reviews recent advances in cancer biochemistry and their translation into therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, we examine the role of biomarkers, cell signaling cascades, and drug resistance mechanisms to demonstrate the utility of biochemistry in modern oncology.
