Molecular events in lung cancer.

Abstract excerpt

The observation that genes contributing to the process of malignant transformation are altered forms of genes normally present in eukaryotic cells initiated many of the advances that have increased our understanding of lung carcinogenesis at the molecular level. The gene families implicated in carcinogenesis include dominant oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Proto-oncogenes (normal homologue of the oncogene)...
