The Eco-Evolutionary Ground State Theory of Cancer and Why Cancer Develops

2026-07-31

Abstract excerpt

Why cancer develops remains one of the central unsolved problems of biology. The Eco-Evolutionary Ground-State Theory of Cancer proposes that malignant transformation results from the conditional reactivation of an ancient ecological survival system whose evolutionary origins extend deep into early eukaryotic evolution. The theory reconstructs approximately one billion years of cancer genome evolution. It proposes...
