Abstract:
Six multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes have received a level of attention that might seem disproportionate to their low prevalence. The attention has been given because their hormonal excesses cause striking metabolic expressions and because they might clarify pathways disrupted in more common tumours. The recent discovery of the main gene in each MEN syndrome has furthered our understanding of not only hereditary but also sporadic tumours and has fostered new avenues of research.

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.
