title: Oncogenes, antioncogenes, and a hypothesis on cancer therapy, i.e. the origin of cancer, and the prevention of its activity.
abstract: Existing data indicates there is a set of genes--oncogenes--whose increased or abnormal expression causes cancer. Another set of genes--antioncogenes--control oncogene expression. Implied is that cancer is neither infectious nor contagious, i.e. one cannot catch cancer, and cancers are fundamentally similar. Fetal cells can be used instead of immunosuppressing drugs, regulate antigen-antibody action-reaction, and may be in some instances genetically wholesome. They, therefore may be useful to compensate for the immunological breakdown or deficiency which results in active cancer.
