Creating the Field of the “Physics of Cancer”
A recent review paper on metastatic spread brings to the fore one of the most important questions that needs to be addressed in the creation of a physics of cancer. The basic issue is, why do the cells in the primary tumor develop the genetic and epigenetic properties that enable them to migrate through the body and establish successful (from the tumor’s perspective) metastatic outposts.
