Cancer is a multi-step process, involving three stages that can be operationally distinguished: initiation, promotion and progression. Initiation involves an irreversible alteration of the cellular DNA that permits the transformation of the cell to a non-malignant state. Promotion produces conditions that allow the initiated cell to become malignant, and progression is the growth of the malignant cell to a tumor.
