[Clinico-genealogical and genetic-mathematical research on cancer of the cervix uteri]
Abstract:
Analysis of the family histories of 179 patients with cancer of uterine cervix was conducted to detect the influence of their heredity and environmental factors on the development of malignant tumors using clinical-genealogical and genetic-mathematical methods. Decomposition of phenotypic variance was used as a basis for detecting the contribution of genetic component (2.92%) and random environmental component (97.08%) which reflected the influence of exogenic risk factors of development of uterine cervix cancer. Clinico-genealogical analysis of probands' pedigrees was the basis for detecting association of malignant neoplasms in lung and uterine cervix epithelia.

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.

The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
