As cancers have hundreds of mutations, it is self-evident that the genome must be able to mutate, and thus the genome has some inherent instability. This adds very little to the understanding of cancer. The second is ‘Tumor Promoting Inflammation’. It has long been recognized that all cancers have inflammatory cells within them.
