RESUMEN

Los adelantos en la biología celular y molecular han permitido una mejor comprensión sobre el significado del cáncer. Muchos investigadores coinciden en cuanto a la ocurrencia de la progresión tumoral de modo ordenado y secuencial en cada uno de los tumores humanos más frecuentes, la presencia de “genes porteros y conserjes” que regulan el sentido de dicha evolución, la naturaleza adaptativa de las mutaciones que subyacen en la carcinogénesis, entre otras. Todo parece indicar que la variabilidad genética inducida y el polimorfismo genético influyen determinantemente en la susceptibilidad para el inicio de las neoplasias.
