Molecular mechanisms of human carcinogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Intensive research efforts during the last several decades have increased our understanding of carcinogenesis, and have identified a genetic basis for the multi-step process of cancer development. Tumors grow through a process of clonal expansion driven by mutation. Several forms of molecular alteration have been described in human cancers, and these can be generally classified as chromosomal abnormalities and...
