Adaptive Oncogenesis

James DeGregori proposes a way of thinking about cancer as a disease of evolution-one in which mutated cells outcompete healthy cells in the ecosystem of the body's tissues. By tying cancer's progression to natural selection and evolved strategies for reproductive success, his theory goes far in explaining who gets cancer, when it appears, and why.

James DeGregori propune un mod de a gandi despre cancer ca o boala a evolutiei - una in care celulele mutante intrec celulele sanatoase din ecosistemul tesuturilor corpului. Legand progresia cancerului de selectia naturala si strategiile evoluate pentru succesul reproducerii, teoria sa merge departe in a explica cine sufera de cancer, cand apare si de ce.
