[Oncogerminal hypothesis of tumor growth]

An original hypothesis of the tumour growth is suggested proceeding from the biological law of development. It follows from this hypothesis that during the malignant processes occurs the partial derepression of the germinative cell genome which determines its phenotypical property (potential immortality realized in the cell life cycle). It is supposed that potential immortality, a phenotypic property of the malignant cell, is also realized in the cell life cycle.
