Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2b2vg11z" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />Autophagy is fundamentally a cytoprotective and pro-survival process yet studies have shown that it has an exceedingly contextual role in cancer biology; depending on the phase, location or type of oncogenic trigger and/or therapy, its role could fluctuate from pro- to anti-tumourigenic.</p> </abstract>
