The past decade has witnessed great changes in our understanding of the molecular origins of cancer. Toward this end, major contributions have come from the identification of oncogenes and their cellular counterparts, proto-oncogenes, as well as recessive anti-oncogenes, or tumor-suppressor genes. These general topics have been extensively reviewed [1–16]. The purpose of this chapter is to address what is known about oncogene abnormalities in specific human solid tumors, including the incidence and mode of oncogene activation, its putative role in tumor formation and metastasis, and the clinical significance of oncogene abnormalities relating to tumor behavior and patient prognosis. Before focusing on specific tumor types, it is useful to summarize those concepts pertinent to oncogene activation that might help in understanding the present evidence supporting a role for oncogenes in the development or progression of naturally occurring human tumors.
