The Carcinogenic Chimera Cell Hypothesis: How Ectopic Expression of Cancer-Related Genes Leads to Cancer

2025-08-26

Abstract excerpt

Although the ectopic expression of genes that regulate differentiation has been observed in various cancers, its significance has not been fully investigated. In this article, based on the biochemical premise that “new biological responses do not fundamentally arise from mutations,” I redefine the role of ectopic expression in carcinogenesis and propose the “carcinogenic chimera cell (CCC) hypothesis.” The CCC hyp...
