gene might be required
for cancer - promoting actions when the cancers lose specific tumor
suppressor genes.»

genes that either halt cell division to allow time
for repair of damaged DNA or, when all rescue attempts prove futile, to prevent cells with genetic defects from dividing, as this would fuel the development of cancer.
