This document discusses the molecular basis of cancer development. It explains that cancer arises from genetic damage, including small mutations, large changes that alter the karyotype through translocations, deletions, amplifications, and aneuploidy. Cancer development is a multistep process influenced by the dysregulation of several classes of genes involved in processes like growth promotion, growth inhibition, cell death, and DNA repair. MicroRNAs can also contribute to carcinogenesis.
