Abstract:
The results of the cancer data registered during 1996-2007 demonstrates how fundamental is the work the registrar in the integrity of a Registry of Childhood Cancer. The work consisted: collecting the complete information available (the number of cases and information of the variables), encoding the information according to international standards, and classifying the data by capturing, analyzing, and producing the respective reports. The objective of having quality data (complete, valid and timely) is to estimate the incidence and trends of cancer in the population. The professional for the registration does not exist in the current Mexican work force. Given that a national program of cancer registries is of vital importance for improved planning medical care, allotment of medical resources, in cancer research. It will be necessary to create such a profession by establishing national standards and training programs.

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.
