Nature Reviews Cancer - Highlights. This article tells how radiation can produce cancer epigenetically by disrupting cell-cell communication. It was once thought that UV light altered DNA (produced mutations) and this caused cancer. But now they are seeing that mutations are not necessary.

In line with my theory, the UV radiation altered RF's on the cell surface such that the cells no longer recognized each other and, in trying to re-establish communication, the genome started to express a different set of RF's.

If we could determine how many RF's are used in creating an adult organism we would be in a better position to fashion a cure. If it turns out that a great number is involved then we can try to program a cancer cell to change into something like connective tissue. If it's already derived from connective tissue perhaps we can change it into something else that will not be that disruptive to other cells at the metastatic site.

Biological Pathways Symbology

Tumorigenesis: Actions to initiate the cancer state. The Cell Recognition Factor theory of cancer maintains that detachment of a cell from its neighbors is necessary for most cancers to arise. After that, a malfunction or replenishment of the telomere, or a reversion to stem cell, is necessary to permit the growth of cancer cells. The immune system then comes into play in keeping cancer cells in check or in promoting their elimination. A daughter cell has three additional hurdles to overcome on its road to cancer. It must eliminate the threat of apoptosis; eliminate telomere degradation; and, prevent itself from ending up in an inhospitable environment away from resources. I. Stem cell (immortal) . a. Detach from neighbors . b. Escape from Immune Surveillance II. Daughter cell (specialized, mortal) . a. Detach from neighbors . b. Escape from Immune Surveillance . c. Prevent Apoptosis . d. Stop Degradation of the Telomere . e. Prev...

St. Peregrinus and CRF Theory

[ note: contains adult discussions of sexual matters which some non-biologists may find offensive ] St. Peregrinus is the patron saint of those suffering from cancer but his connection to this blog goes deeper than that, and it's something that I've been meaning to write about. if the CRF Theory demands a loss of communication between cells as the initiator of cancer, what role would physical factors play? I've refrained from discussing this because the evidence is very anecdotal. But let's start with the saint. In penance for his actions, he spent 30 years preferring standing to sitting, and he ended up with varicosities of the leg and, eventually, cancer of the foot which was so bad that an amputation was scheduled* The caveat that makes cancer etiology so difficult is that rarely does a single factor produce cancer for even when a single factor has a causal relationship, there are some who do not succumb to it. Multiple factors enter into the equation--the patien...
