Abstract
The origin and development of human tumors begins at the molecular level and involves a complex multi-step process. A feature common to many tumor cells is their ability to enter and progress through the cell division cycle under conditions where normal cells would either be quiescent or proliferating at a reduced rate. Therefore, the molecular pathways controlling the cell division cycle must inevitably interact with pathways which regulate cell growth, and are a very likely target of oncogenic events. It was not until very recently, however, that experimental evidence became available to bring such a connection to light.
