  2. Carcinogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinogenesis

    The central role of DNA damage and epigenetic defects in DNA repair genes in carcinogenesis. DNA damage is considered to be the primary cause of cancer. [17] More than 60,000 new naturally-occurring instances of DNA damage arise, on average, per human cell, per day, due to endogenous cellular processes (see article DNA damage (naturally occurring)).

  3. Malignant transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malignant_transformation

    Colon cancer provides one example of the mechanisms by which diet, the top factor listed in the table, is an external factor in cancer. The Western diet of African Americans in the United States is associated with a yearly colon cancer rate of 65 per 100,000 individuals, while the high fiber/low fat diet of rural Native Africans in South Africa is associated with a yearly colon cancer rate of ...

  4. Cancer cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_cell

    Although a DNA repair deficiency can predispose a cell lineage to develop cancer, increased (rather than decreased) expression of a repair capability may also emerge in the progression of cancer cell lineages, and this capability may be clinically important as reviewed by Lingg et al. [9] For instance, the DNA repair gene DMC1 encodes a protein ...

    The schematic diagram indicates the roles of insufficient DNA repair in aging and cancer, and the role of apoptosis in cancer prevention. An excess of naturally occurring DNA damage, due to inherited deficiencies in particular DNA repair enzymes, can cause premature aging or increased risk for cancer (see DNA repair-deficiency disorder).

  9. Spontaneous remission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_remission

    There are several case reports of spontaneous regressions from cancer occurring after a fever brought on by infection, [2] [6] suggesting a possible causal connection. If this coincidence in time would be a causal connection, it should as well precipitate as prophylactic effect, i.e. feverish infections should lower the risk to develop cancer ...
