Anti‐cancer selection as a source of developmental and evolutionary constraints

17 Oct 2003

Abstract excerpt

Recently at least two papers have appeared that look at cancer from an evolutionary perspective. That cancer has a negative effect on fitness needs no argument. However, cancer origination is not an isolated process, but the potential for it is linked in diverse ways to other genetically determined developmental events, complicating the way selection acts on it, and through it on the evolution of development. The...
