Abstract
Cancer is a genetic disease that results from multiple genomic changes. These ultimately lead to the deregulation of the cell cycle machinery and to autonomous cell proliferation. Neoplastic transformation involves four sets of genes: 1) oncogenes, 2) tumor-suppressor genes, 3) mutator genes, and 4) apoptotic genes. In the hematopoietic system, the first step in oncogenesis is the activation of an oncogene that may then be followed by the activation of an additional oncogene and/or the loss of function of a tumor-suppressor gene. The activation of oncogenes may play a predominant role in the formation of sarcomas as well. Tumors of both the hematopoietic system and soft tissues exhibit a karyotype close to normal. On the other hand, carcinomas, the most prevalent forms of cancer, are predominantly due to the loss of function of tumor-suppressor genes with multiple sites of loss of heterozygosity (LOH), and they have dramatic alterations in the karyotype (Rabbitts, 1994).
