Somatic mutation: early cancer steps depend on tissue architecture.

Current biology : CB - 1 Apr 2003

Frank Steven A

Abstract excerpt

Cells progress from a normal to a cancerous state by accumulating mutations. Recent mathematical studies show how the size of the cellular population in a local patch of tissue influences the spread of cancer-promoting mutations.
