Abstract:
Cancer is becoming an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Niue. Analysis of a cancer register showed an overall age adjusted rated of 11.3 and 9.9 per 10000 among males and females, respectively. A significant increase in the trend of cancer during 1952 to 1985 cannot be explained by improved registration alone. This study when compared with other data sources on Niue indicated a gross under-reporting of cancer (over 70%). The establishment of national registers for chronic diseases like cancer is the most accurate, economic and technically achievable way to provide population-based information for the small Pacific Island states.

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.
