An evolutionary paradigm for carcinogenesis?

Journal of epidemiology and community health - 1 Feb 2003

Vineis P, Matullo G, Manuguerra M

Abstract excerpt

Mutations seem to be only one of the mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis; selection of mutated clones is a second crucial mechanism. An evolutionary (darwinian) theory of carcinogenesis can be useful to explain some contradictory observations of epidemiology, and to provide a common theoretical...
