title: Oncogenes and human cancer.
abstract: In the past, the investigation of the causes of cancer has seemed to involve many unconnected disciplines such as tumour virology, chemical carcinogenesis, and chromosomal analysis. Oncogene research has revealed exciting links between these, and the identification of some of the biochemical mechanisms associated with malignant change offers hope for the development of more specific therapies.
