The Role of Tumor Microenvironment in Genomic Instability of Malignant Tumors

Abstract excerpt

Genomic instability is an essential feature of cancer cells. The somatic mutation theory suggests that along with inherited ones, the changes in DNA caused by environmental factors may cause cancer. Although approximately 50-60 mutations per tumor are observed in established cancer tissue, it is known that not all of these mutations occur at the beginning of carcinogenesis but also occur later in the disease...
