Poly‐aneuploid cancer cells promote evolvability, generating lethal cancer
6 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
Cancer cells utilize the forces of natural selection to evolve evolvability allowing a constant supply of heritable variation that permits a cancer species to evolutionary track changing hazards and opportunities. Over time, the dynamic tumor ecosystem is exposed to extreme, catastrophic changes in the conditions of the tumor-natural (e.g., loss of blood supply) or imposed (therapeutic). While the nature of these...
