The main genes that can be damaged in this process are the tumor suppressor gene, which helps prevent large growths of cancer cells, keeping them contained within an area to prevent malignancy. The other gene is the DNA repair gene, which helps repair DNA in the case of errors occurring (such as cancer/tumor growing genes). The last main gene is the cell growth gene, the proto oncogene. This gene helps stop and start the growth process of cells, making sure they are the proper size, which can be helpful to prevent tumors from growing. When mutated, they become
