title: [The genetic basis of suppression of tumors and metastases in Drosophila and man].
abstract: The first causal relations between recessive gene mutation and malignancies were detected in a fly (Drosophila melanogaster). This is a recessive-lethal heredity. Tumour suppression was demonstrated in mouse cell hybrids in the late sixties. Tumour suppressor antigens are developed recently for Wilms tumour, retinoblastomas and colorectal cancer.
