The genetic factors in cancer development and their implications for cancer prevention and detection.

Abstract excerpt

Experimental data from laboratory animals indicate that the same extent of DNA damage or the same mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in different hosts result in widely differing cancer development because of numerous polymorphic tumor susceptibility genes. Similarly, recent epidemiological data indicate that susceptibility to common, "sporadic" cancers in humans is influenced considerably by...
