The answer to this question, “What is cancer?”provides the scientific
basis for cancer control.
With all of the recent advances in molecular biology which have
increased our understanding of the genetic basis of cancer with
the description of oncogenes (cancer genes) and the suppressor
genes which regulate their expression, the biologic basis of cancer
has received most of the attention. But the nature of cancer also
has an equally important social aspect which is essential for
cancer control.
