A simple algebraic cancer equation: calculating how cancers may arise with normal mutation rates
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this article is to present a relatively easy to understand cancer model where transformation occurs when the first cell, among many at risk within a colon, accumulates a set of driver mutations. The analysis of this model yields a simple algebraic equation, which takes as...
