CLOSE LOOK AT GENES: CANCER GENES
Indeed, genetic engineers already have claimed one tremendous advance – the discovery of cancer-causing genes called oncogenes (onkos is Greek for “mass,” as in the massing of malignant cells in a tumor). Each of us probably carries one or more of these genes in every cell in our body. Undisturbed, oncogenes are harmless. Then, one day, something comes along that triggers the oncogenes. They make a chemical that causes cells to divide and multiply uncontrollably, forming millions of new cells that invade and choke our organs. A cancer.
The first human oncogene, for bladder cancer, was discovered in 1981. A year later, Dr. Robert Ellsworth of the Ophthalmic Oncology Center at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center identified the gene that controls the growth of cancer cells in the retina, causing a disease called retinoblastoma. In total, scientists have discovered about 20 oncogenes; there may be 10 more. What does that mean? For 100 years, doctors believed that cancer was not one disease, but many different diseases. Now they know that most cancers are probably caused by one or more of the 20 oncogenes.
Researchers have yet to unravel exactly what turns on an oncogene, how to prevent it from turning cancerous, or, once it has turned cancerous, how to turn it off. Once they do, they can cure and prevent cancer.
Dr. Paul Marks heads the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, the largest private cancer institution in the world. He was my classmate when we both went to high school in Brooklyn. Neither of us could then imagine the scientific wonders of today. Now, as we spoke about oncogenes, he could hardly contain his optimism.
“Gene manipulation will provide fundamentally new approaches to the prevention and cure of cancer,” he said. “When? I am an optimist, but it will take a while. I can’t say this year or the next 5 years. In your lifetime or mine? I expect so. I hope so.”
