Abstract
All these assays were applied to skin untransformed fibroblasts derived from eight major cancer syndromes characterized by their excess of relative cancer risk (ERR). Significant correlations with ERR were found between hyper-recombination assessed by the plasmid assay and G2/M arrest and described a third-degree polynomial ERR function and a sigmoidal ERR function, respectively. The product of the hyper-recombination rate and capacity of proliferation described a linear ERR function that permits one to better discriminate each cancer syndrome. Hyper-recombination and cell proliferation were found to obey differential equations that better highlight the intrinsic bases of cancer formation. Further investigations to verify their relevance for cancer proneness induced by exogenous agents are in progress.
