Abstract:
Having left Lódź in 1906 Władysław Kopaczewski (1886-1953) studied physics, chemistry and biology at Swiss universities. In 1911 he moved to France where he conducted research in coloidal chemistry simultaneously obtaining a physician's diploma and an MD. During 42 years he spent in France he was dealing with biological systems physics, doing research in medicine, nutritive chemistry and cosmetology. He created an original conception of cancer disease. His theory allowed him to provide the theoretical bases of the cancer physics and to suggest a diagnositic method to direct the search for means of the cancer therapy.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
