title: Oncogenes and signal transduction.
abstract: Cancer biologists now have a unified concept to guide their search for specific genetic abnormalities and new therapeutic approaches: The genes and proteins that participate in the conversion of normal into malignant cells are also involved in the key process that converts extracellular signals into intracellular events that culminate in division and growth.
