The effects of geraniol on cancer hallmarks

"Successive genetic lesions promote the transition of a cell from a normal to a neoplastic state because they confer relative fitness benefits, which ensure a high degree of adaptability to altered environmental cues. When tumor cells evolve progressively under selective pressures, they acquire certain cancer hallmarks that enable the tumor to survive and grow and ultimately become malignant (3742). Therefore, the molecules or pathways that are responsible for the acquisition of these hallmarks have been considered promising targets for the development of effective anticancer agents."
