title: [Research progresses on the role of cell autophagy in cancer].
abstract: Autophagy is a vital basic phenomenon that widely exists in eukaryotic cells. As one type of programmed cell death, autophagy has gained much more attention in the past several years. Recent evidences suggest that the alterations in autophagy are associated with the genesis and development of cancers. It can affect cell apoptosis, angiogenesis and treatment of tumor. This article focuses on recent progresses of autophagy research related to human cancers.
