Aya et al. showed that the cells multiplied rapidly following exposure to the extracts and, after one year of culture, ten percent of the chromosomal abnormalities induced by these plant extracts affected chromosome 8 with activation of the oncogene MYC, thus reproducing the crucial translocation characterizing Burkitt's Lymphoma [27], and that cells treated with the Euphorbia extracts produced lymphomas when injected into nude mice [27]. The gene discussed is MYC; the disease is Burkitt lymphoma.
