Cellular pathways and functional processes involved in cancer. Driver mutations in cancer-related genes are responsible for cancer development. These cancer-related genes are implicated in 12 cellular signaling pathways, which can be grouped into 3 core cellular functions: cell survival, cell fate, and genome maintenance [Inspired by Hanahan & Weinberg (2011) and Vogelstein et al. (2013)] (58, 68).
