Development of Cancer
- Cancer=Uncontrolled
cell division
- Two things have to happen
- The tumor suppressor
gene is inactive (inactive
tumor suppressor)
- Have to both be
present in the same
cell
- How does it become inactive?
- Both copies of the gene are mutated
- Both copies of the gene are mutated
- Tumor suppressor
function=Slow down
cell division, perform
apoptosis
- Apoptosis= controlled cell death
- Apoptosis= controlled cell death
- Have to both be
present in the same
cell
- An oncogene is active
(Active oncogene)
- How does it become active
- Both copies of the gene are mutated
- Could be one
copy for an
oncogene
- Both copies of the gene are mutated
- A gene that can turn
a cell into a tumor
cell when active in
the same cell as an
inactive tumor
suppressor gene
- The tumor suppressor
gene is inactive (inactive
tumor suppressor)
