title: Oncogenes.
abstract: Many of the genes that are likely participants in the pathogenesis of human neoplasia have been identified. The major classes of events that activate these genes in tumors have also been described. We expect that continuing research on the function of oncogenes will greatly inform our understanding of fundamental growth control processes and, eventually, influence our approaches to treating cancer patients.
