Abstract:
Eliminating racial disparities in cancer is a key goal of national organizations and those in Missouri. The purpose of this study is to provide trends in cancer incidence (1996-2003) and mortality (1990-2005) over time with special emphasis on disparities between African-Americans and whites in Missouri. Overall changes in incidence rates suggest that by 2006 the racial disparity will be eliminated. However, African-Americans will continue to have higher mortality rates unless more aggressive interventions are implemented.

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.
