A gene that has the potential to cause Cancer. In tumor cells, they are often mutated or expressed at high levels. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oncogene)

It's presense in certain forms and/or overactivity can stimulate the development of cancer. Mutated/damaged oncogenes accelerate cell growth and division.
