Tumour promotion through the lens of evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Almost all tumours carry one or more cancer driver mutations, which are essential for cell transformation. However, recent advances in cancer genomics have demonstrated that normal human tissues contain millions of cells carrying known driver mutations, while preserving homeostasis. Most of these mutated cells will never transform into tumours. Moreover, studies of known or suspected human carcinogens have shown...
