Abstract excerpt
Our vision of the cancer cell has dramatically changed since the discovery of proto-oncogenes, whose deregulation was proposed to mimic normal growth signalling. This notion, linking cancer to cell signalling pathways, has progressively led the way to the concept of the mutator phenotype, in which genetic instability plays an essential role in the onset of cancer. This then transformed cancer into a DNA repair...
