Abstract

An important hallmark of cancer is aberrant growth control. Genetic changes that confer a growth advantage to the tumor cell are observed on numerous levels. Some of the best understood are mutations in proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes that are linked to signal transduction pathways, cell cycle control, or cell-cell/cell-matrix interactions that regulate growth, movement, differentiation, survival, apoptosis, and genetic stability (Hartwell 1992; Weinberg 1992; Hunter 1993; Runger et al. 1994; Workman 1994). However, in addition to aberrant growth control, many cancer cells possess another important feature which distinguishes them from normal somatic cells: unlimited replicative capacity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
