A statistical model that measures the proportion of cancer incidence, across many tissue types, caused mainly by random mutations that occur when stem cells divide has been developed by scientists from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. According to their study, two-thirds of adult cancer incidence across tissues can be explained primarily by 'bad luck', when these random mutations occur in genes that can drive cancer growth, while the remaining third are due to environmental ...Friday 2 January 2015
Random Stem Cells Mutations Plays Predominant Role in Cancer
A statistical model that measures the proportion of cancer incidence, across many tissue types, caused mainly by random mutations that occur when stem cells divide has been developed by scientists from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. According to their study, two-thirds of adult cancer incidence across tissues can be explained primarily by 'bad luck', when these random mutations occur in genes that can drive cancer growth, while the remaining third are due to environmental ...
