From the point of view of molecular genetics

Modern conceptions about basic mechanisms of oncogenesis

Abstract

The problem of oncogenesis from the point of view of molecular genetics is analyzed. The special attention is paid to the genome instability as the main reason of the malignant cell growth. It is pointed out the genome instability provides the material for the selection. An immune control system destroys everything, what it can destroy. But at the same time it creates the «own» tumor for each patient, which is not recognized by the immune control system as a harmful one.
