Abstract

Tumors arise from single cells that develop into large populations sharing a series of genetic alterations. The single phenotypic feature that best characterizes a transformed cell is its ability to proliferate indefinitely when left undisturbed.1 The recognition of specific genes that modulate proliferation, has led to studies on the cell cycle.2 Homeostasis has a great importance in the development of tumors and is regulated by a balance among proliferation, the arrest of growth and programmed death (apoptosis).
