Chaotic Adaptation Theory (CAT) for cancer: a Lamarckian view.

Abstract

Cancer is still the growing global public health problem. There are many theories about carcinogenesis but none of them can explain carcinogenesis clearly. We have developed a cancer theory based on stem cells, chaos and adaptation ten years ago (Chaotic Adaptation Theory – CAT). Additionally, we think that, this theory is first Lamarckian view of carcinogenesis. In this article, we have revised CAT based on new literature findings.
