Abstract:
Despite its genetic complexity and multifactoriality, two processes appear almost universally compromised in cancer: the control of cell proliferation and the regulation of cell lifespan. Survivin is a recently described molecule that has been implicated in both processes, and is overexpressed in most human cancers. The exploitation of the survivin signaling pathway might provide important predictive and prognostic clues in cancer diagnosis, and offer new therapeutic alternatives for cancer treatment.

Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
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.
