Chemists skew the odds to prevent cancer: Theory shows mutations have few easy paths to establish themselves in cells and initiate tumors - Science Daily

A theoretical framework shows how to increase the odds of identifying cancer-causing mutations before tumors take hold. Researchers demonstrate that only a few energetically favorable pathways are likely to lead to cancer.

The path to cancer prevention is long and arduous for legions of researchers, but new work by Rice University scientists shows that there may be shortcuts.Rice chemist Anatoly Kolomeisky, lead author… [+4459 chars]
