title: The molecular genetics of cancer: 1988.
abstract: Cancer has myriad causes, but many of these may act by damaging DNA. Both dominant and recessive forms of genetic damage have been found in human cancer cells. The damage is likely to play a role in tumorigenesis, and it can therefore form the basis for new approaches to the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of cancer.
