Cancer: Stuck at first base

Abstract
People with the genetic disease Peutz–Jeghers syndrome have many intestinal polyps — benign tissue outgrowths. These seldom become malignant, and the reason may lie in the properties of the affected gene.
Several inherited human diseases are characterized by the formation of polyps in the gut. Polyps are benign outgrowths of tissue with a disordered structure.
