Oncogene is a gene that promotes cancer growth while proto-oncogene is the gene that prevents cancer.

In cell cycle, there is some checkpoint that will detect genetic damage and repair it, or stop the cell cycle.  Proto-oncogene would be responsible for repairing the DNA or signaling the cell to stop dividing.
