B2B Oncologia Ep.05 - A célula que aprendeu a não morrer

In this episode of Back to Basics in Oncology, Dr. Ana Cláudia explains one of the most fundamental processes in human biology: programmed cell death. While you watch, approximately 50 billion cells in your body are dying today, in a programmed, silent way, essential for maintaining tissue balance. But cancer finds ways to escape this mechanism. In this episode, you will understand: What apoptosis is and why it is essential for life The differences between apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis How cancer "switches off" programmed cell death The role of BCL2, caspases, and p53 in cell survival How modern therapies exploit these mechanisms as a treatment strategy Clinical examples such as venetoclax and immunotherapy applied to cell death More than just memorizing concepts, this episode shows how modern oncology transforms basic biology into therapeutic strategy.
