An error catastrophe in cancer?

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 May 2004

Solé Ricard V, Deisboeck Thomas S

Abstract excerpt

A comparison between the evolution of cancer cell populations and RNA viruses reveals a number of remarkable similarities. Both display high levels of plasticity and adaptability as a consequence of high degrees of genetic variation. It has been suggested that, as it occurs with RNA viruses, ther...
