Signatures of Cancer Cells
All cell types, depending on their functions, have unique, identifiable "signatures" - special characteristics such as which genes are active and what proteins or other cellular products are manufactured by the cell. During transformation of a normal cell to a cancer cell, the signature changes, and that change becomes a signal of the presence of cancer. (Bypass Budget) (NCI Thesaurus)
