Abstract excerpt
Carcinogenesis is long-term multistep accumulation of defects of genes responsible for cell division, DNA repair, and apoptosis. The functions of these genes are known both for norm and for pathologies caused by their damage and resulting in "asocial" cell behavior. Owing to the recent progress in studying the mechanisms of carcinogenesis, some genetic defects may be considered from the applied point of view (as...
