Cancer risk: Many factors contribute

6 Feb 2015

Abstract excerpt

In their Report “Variation in cancer risk among tissues can be explained by the number of stem cell divisions” (2 January, p. [78][1]), C. Tomasetti and B. Vogelstein found a high correlation between the number of lifetime stem cell divisions of a given tissue and the lifetime risk of cancer in that tissue. Based on the finding that 65% of the variation in cancer risk among different tissues can be explained by...
