The somatic mutation theory of cancer: Growing problems with the paradigm?
Article Abstract:
The somatic mutation theory is the prevailing paradigm in cancer research for the last 50 years. The cancer is derived from a single somatic cell that has accumulated multiple DNA mutations are one of its few premises which is highlighted.
