Chromosome instability and tumor lethality suppression in carcinogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

The maintenance and survival of each organism depends on its genome integrity. Alterations of essential genes, or aberrant chromosome number and structure lead to cell death. Paradoxically, cancer cells, especially in solid tumors, contain somatic gene mutations and are chromosome instability (CIN), suggesting a mechanism that cancer cells have acquired to suppress the lethal mutations and/or CIN. Herein we will...
