From cancer research to cancer control
Abstract:
In summary, cancer control has not made as much progress as it should. It has lagged seriously behind research in the National Cancer Program. Now, however, the bases for cancer control are strongly evident. It is possible to set clear-cut, realistic objectives. The 1970s have properly been termed a Decade of Discovery in celebration of the advances in cancer research 1971-1981 (17). The 1980s can bring not only further advances in research but truly a Decade of Cancer Control. The ACCC and the AACI could play key roles in that development.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
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.
