Strategies to Prevent "Bad Luck" in Cancer.

Journal of the National Cancer Institute - 1 Oct 2015

Abstract excerpt

It is impossible to predict exactly who will develop a cancer and who will not. We know that several "risk factors" may increase the chance of getting cancer and that risk increases with age. However, even with that in mind we seem to be able to explain only a certain number of cancers. Recently, Tomasetti and Vogelstein published a provocative article in Science stating that a large percentage of cancers may be...
