摘要: Recent advances in the biochemical and molecular understanding of tumor cell function are providing new insights into alterations growth regulation which underlie aberrant proliferation seen neoplastic disease. Perhaps best example these comes from “rediscovery” oncogenes; genes represent normal cellular DNA sequences (c-onc or proto-onc genes) which, through particular activating events carcinogenesis, become “oncogenic” capable triggering malignant transformation (reviewed Varmus (85)). Many had earlier been described as transforming (v-onc) RNA viruses (5). Even though exact details oncogene have yet to be fully defined, early studies begun suggest new, unifying themes for abnormal control (54, 86).
