Abstract:
In the past 2 years the major genes for inherited breast-ovarian cancer, bowel cancer and melanoma have been identified. Relatives of cancer patients frequently perceive themselves to be at high risk of cancer. Appropriate assessment of the family history permits the identification of those at particularly high risk who may benefit from special programs of prevention, screening and surveillance. In certain cases, genetic testing and prophylactic surgery may be indicated. This article looks at the general issues involved. A follow-up article next month will look at specific diseases.

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.
