In the past, the investigation of the causes of cancer has seemed to involve many unconnected disciplines such as tumour virology, chemical carcinogenesis, and chromosomal analysis. Oncogene research has revealed exciting links between these, and the identification of some of the biochemical mechanisms associated with malignant change offers hope for the development of more specific therapies.
过去,对癌症病因的研究似乎涉及许多互不相关的学科,如肿瘤病毒学、化学致癌作用和染色体分析。癌基因研究揭示了这些学科之间令人兴奋的联系,并且对一些与恶性变化相关的生化机制的识别为开发更具针对性的疗法带来了希望。
