Abstract:
The paper reviews the theory of Foulds on the tumor progression and necessitates a wider application and study of this theory. The biological basis of the tumor progression consists in variability and heterogeneity of the tumor cells undergoing tissue selection resulting in the appearance of tumor cells with new properties. Morphological manifestations of the tumor progression subdivided into 4 groups are considered. Some aspects of application of the theory to histological diagnosis of tumors and its significance in treatment of cancer are described. It is emphasized that the theses of the tumor progression theory are essential for the development of basic research in oncology.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
