contents Embryology has long played a foundational role in shaping our scientific understanding of animal evolution. In recent decades, growing evidence has also highlighted its role in cancer. Despite the indisputable similarities between embryonic development and cancer, there has been limited discussion on the profound embryological implications for the disease. This article explores the understanding of cancer as an embryological and evolutionary phenomenon, offering a fresh perspective on the disease and discussing immediate consequences in the search for therapeutic approaches
