摘要: 'Biology and cancer research have developed together. Invariably, at each stage, the characteristics of cell been ascribed to some defect in whatever branch biology happens time be fashionable exciting; today, it is molecular genetics'. Tremendous transformations occurred since these few lines were written by John Cairns: discovery oncogenes anti-oncogenes, successful development 'magic bullets' targeting proteins encoded oncogenes. Nevertheless, Cairns' message still valid. In 1978, he observed first attempts apply tools concepts cancer; this field reflects multiple diverse efforts that go 'beyond' looking for explanations left aside during its development, or privileging new approaches, fully original actively pursued other fields biological research. Because specific characteristic research, possible use as an indicator trends general.
