How Do Oncogenes Contribute to Cancer Development?

Oncogenes are mutated forms of proto-oncogenes, which normally promote cell growth and division. When proto-oncogenes become oncogenes, they can drive excessive and unregulated cell proliferation, contributing to cancer development. Examples of oncogenes include HER2, MYC, and RAS.
