Excerpt
Introduction: Genetic and molecular analyses of Drosophila have clearly demonstrated that tumorigenesis may arise from inactivation of genes controlling cell growth and differentiation (1,2). Recessive mutations in a series of genes were shown to interrupt the differentation of defined adult primordial cell types and lead to an uncontrolled and invasive cell growth, resulting in the death of the mutant animals before the completion of the normal course of development.
