👉 Cytophagic refers to a type of cancer that is caused by mutations in the DNA, specifically in the tumor suppressor genes (TPGs) involved in cell regulation and metabolism. These TPGs are responsible for maintaining homeostasis by regulating various cellular processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and autophagy. Cytophagic cancers can arise from a variety of sources including genetic mutations that occur during embryonic development or cancerous cells that have been mutated in their DNA
