Flowchart showing how oncogene activation, tumour suppressor loss, methylation changes and oestrogen signalling can lead from normal cell cycle control to benign or malignant tumours

Gene expression is the use of information in a gene to make a product, usually a protein. In cancer biology, the key proteins are those that control the cell cycle, DNA repair, and apoptosis.
