Molecular theory of cancer.

Cancer biology & therapy - 1 Jun 2005

Blagosklonny Mikhail V

Abstract excerpt

The mutation theory of cancer was always confronted by alternative (vitalistic) theories, which insist that cancer (like life itself) cannot be reduced to molecular interactions. In fact, the most fundamental feature of the somatic mutation theory of cancer is that it is a molecular theory, meaning that all the complexity of cancer on any level (e.g., tissue) can be explained on the molecular level. To emphasize...
