Oncogenes in gynecologic oncology.
Advances in molecular biology have facilitated the recent investigation of gynecological malignancies. The presence of certain oncogenes within gynecological tumors indicates that transformation may be associated with genetic alteration of normal regulatory processes. This paper reviews several oncogenes that have been implicated in the transformation of gynecological tissues.
