Are all cancer genes equal?
Article Abstract:
Issues are presented concerning the physiological changes in particular classes of genes which result in cancer. The resistance of mice deficient in the cyclin D1 gene to certain forms of breast cancer is discussed.

DNA damage response as a candidate anti-cancer barrier in early human tumorigenesis
Article Abstract:
The incipient tumour experiences oncogenic stress during the evolution of cancer, which evokes counter-responses to eliminate such hazardous cells. The study shows that the early precursor lesions (but not normal tissues) commonly express markers of an activated DNA damage response in clinical specimens from different stages of human tumours of the urinary bladder, breast, lung, and colon.
