ABSTRACT
The rising global incidence of cancer makes it the second leading cause of death worldwide. Over the past decades, significant progress has been made in both basic knowledge and the discovery of new therapeutic approaches. However, the complexity of mechanisms related to tumor development requires the use of sophisticated and adapted research tools. Among these, the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster represents a powerful genetic model with numerous practical and conceptual advantages. Indeed, the conservation of genes implicated in cancer between this insect and mammals places Drosophila as a crucial genetic tool for understanding the fundamental mechanisms governing tumorigenesis and identifying new therapeutic targets. This review aims to describe this original model and demonstrate its relevance for studying cancer biology.
