Genes and Cancer

Aygün Sahin, MSc, PhD  | CEO, President, and Cancer Lead, Cancer Education and Research Institute (CERI)

What is an Oncogene?

Oncogenes are genes that can transform normal cells into cancerous cells. Some oncogenes have also been identified in the human genome (DNA sequence), but these genes are kept inactive under normal conditions.

What are the sub-elements that make up the hereditary structure?

To understand the cellular structures that make up the oncogenes and cancer, let's first get acquainted with these basic cellular structures.

What are the genes associated with cancer? 

There are specific cancer-related genes in our cells. These genes are found naturally in our cells but are inactive. But when external factors and cellular events trigger these genes, this causes cancer to develop. Let's learn more about these cancer-related genes.

What is EGFRvIII?

EGFRvIII is an example of  a "tumor-specific" oncogene, but not an oncogene found naturally in our cells as described above. 

EGFRvIII is a tumor-specific oncogene. Why it is “tumor-specific”, you’ll learn in our infographic below.
