Abstract excerpt
The presence of numerous chromosomal changes and point mutations in tumors is well established. At least some of these changes play a role in the development of the tumors. It has been suggested that the number of these genetic changes requires that tumorigenesis involves an increase in mutation rate. However, the presence of numerous changes can also be accounted for by efficient selection. What is required to...
