[Ten-years analysis of cancer of the female breast (author's transl)]
Abstract:
Today cancer of the breast is the most frequent fatal carcinoma of women. To detect breast carcinoma at an early stage, it is necessary to do mass screening and not to wait until women detect a nodule by chance in their breasts. In the last 2 years 530 women with diagnostically uncertain breast tumours were seen in the outpatient department, 79 of them turned out to be carcinomatous. From 1966 to 1975 246 women underwent a Halsted-Rotter procedure for breast carcinoma. The average age, histological findings and rate of survival are analysed.

Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell
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...
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.
Such genes that act...
