They also show how this interaction can increase proliferation, migration and invasion of tumor cells, three
hallmarks of cancer growth and spread.

growth, a
hallmark of cancer.

growth that are the
hallmarks of cancer.
Sustained angiogenesis, the
growth of new blood vessels, and the suppression
of the immune system are
hallmarks of cancer, with an increasing amount

growth factor receptors, meaning they sit on the surface
of cells and, when activated, can spur the rapid cell
growth that is a
hallmark of cancer.

hallmarks of cancer biology.
The authors conclude that their six
hallmarks — sustained proliferative signaling, evading
growth suppression, resisting cell death, replicative immortality, induction
of angiogenesis, and invasion / metastasis — continue to provide a useful conceptual framework for understanding the biology
of cancer.
The acquisition
of growth signal self - sufficiency is one
of the
hallmarks of cancer.28 In this paper, we show that a broad spectrum
of spontaneous mutations in one
of the endogenous JAK1 alleles is the main mechanism that confers to BaF3 cells cytokine - independent
growth capability in vitro and full tumorigenicity in vivo (Online Supplementary Figure S5), secondary to the upregulation
of the JAK1 transcript.
