Optimal pathways control fixation of multiple mutations during cancer initiation.

Abstract excerpt

Cancer starts after initially healthy tissue cells accumulate several specific mutations or other genetic alterations. The dynamics of tumor formation is a very complex phenomenon due to multiple involved biochemical and biophysical processes. It leads to a very large number of possible pathways on the road to final fixation of all mutations that marks the beginning of the cancer, complicating the understanding...
