The stem cell division theory of cancer.

Critical reviews in oncology/hematology - 1 Mar 2018

López-Lázaro Miguel

Abstract excerpt

All cancer registries constantly show striking differences in cancer incidence by age and among tissues. For example, lung cancer is diagnosed hundreds of times more often at age 70 than at age 20, and lung cancer in nonsmokers occurs thousands of times more frequently than heart cancer in smokers. An analysis of these differences using basic concepts in cell biology indicates that cancer is the end-result of the...
