Recent research on genes associated with tumor growth is reviewed in 14 papers. The first part, basic aspects of oncogenes in malignant transformations, includes an overview of oncogenes and proto- oncogenes, a classification system based on biochemical properties and the cellular functions of products, a survey of experimental methods, and several chapters on various aspects, focusing on the myc and ras families. Part two, clinical aspects of oncogenes in human neoplasma, discusses evidence for the genetic triggering of malignancy, the role of RNA and DNA viruses in tumor growth, and new approaches to reversing or inactivating oncogene abnormalities.
