[Genetic analysis of predisposition to cancer of the stomach]
Abstract:
The results of a complex family and population epidemiologic study of gastric cancer pointed to inheritance as an important factor of the incidence of this disease. However, there may be different combinations of genetic factors, on the one hand, and genetic and environmental ones, on the other, versus age and sex. This should be considered in conducting screening for families at genetic risk for stomach cancer and taking measures aimed at eliminating carcinogenic factors which increase the likelihood of familial cancer incidence. Such considerations should contribute to a certain degree to early diagnosis and prevention of the disease.

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.
