Part of the book series: Cancer Biology and Medicine ((CABM,volume 1))

Abstract

In this chapter, we will describe some of the molecular mechanisms involved in the control of normal cell growth. In addition we will discuss abnormalities in these mechanisms which are found in neoplastic cells, and which may be active in carcinogenesis.
