Variation in cancer risk between organs can not be explained by the degree of somatic clonal expansion
23 May 2024
Abstract excerpt
Somatic clonal expansion refers to the proliferation and expansion of a cell clone within a multicellular organism. Since cancer also results from the uncontrolled proliferation of few cell clones, it is generally believed that aging-associated somatic clonal expansion observed in normal tissues represents a precancerous condition.
