Gene in Multiple Cancers

Main Article Content

Viroj Wiwanitkit, MD

Abstract




Genes are the determinants of individual appearance or phenotype. Several studies reveal the clinical association between genes and cancer. To study the genes and their relationship to cancer is the present focus in clinical oncology. In this specific brief review, the author would like to introduce a group of genes that are associated with multiple cancers.
