Neoplasia Concepts and Pathogenesis – The Molecular Basis of Cancer and Oncogenesis (2024) Unknown Author

Description

This text provides foundational definitions for neoplasia, oncology, and cancer. It details the molecular mechanism of oncogenesis, describing the roles of proto-oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes (anti-oncogenes, notably p53), and DNA repair genes in regulating cell growth and proliferation, and how their mutation leads to cancerous transformation.
