Every cell able to reproduce itself passes through a cell cycle composed of four successive phases (Fig. 1), and each one is characterized by a series of biochemical events that prepare the following phase and that are governed by specific enzymes. The first one is the mitotic phase (M), which has been well known for a long time because it is morphologically identifiable under light microscopy. Another characteristic phase is that in which the cell synthesizes its DNA for replication (S). Between these phases two other time intervals are intercalated: a postmitotic (G1) and a premitotic (G2) phase, where G stands for gap. In fact, during these phases, RNA and proteins are synthesized, but biochemical events have not yet been well defined. In every tissue, either normal or neoplastic, the duration of the S phase, G2and M are quite constant, accounting respectively for 8–30 h, 1–2 h, and 30–90 min.
