Earlier,it was presumed that cancer occurs when certain genes mutate over a period of time, after which the cell loses its ability to control growth. But a new closer look at genomes in prostate cancer by an international team of researchers reveals that, in fact, genetic mutations occur in abrupt, periodic bursts, causing complex, large scale reshuffling of DNA driving the development of prostate cancer.

Prostate Cancer Caused by Periodic Bursts of Mutation
Earlier,it was presumed that cancer occurs when certain genes mutate over a period of time, after which the cell loses its ability to control growth. But a new closer look at genomes in prostate cancer by an international team of researchers reveals that, in fact, genetic mutations occur in abrupt, periodic bursts, causing complex, large scale reshuffling of DNA driving the development of prostate cancer.
