Most of the cancers have 10 hallmarks. One mutation - Branching evolution: different cells with different
or hallmark will not induce tumor formation mutations. The cell with the best mutations is the
most fit and will grow out and cause leukemia ⇒

- Most mutations have no consequences, but if
it does, it’s the 1st step in cancer development
- Cancer causing agents are for example:
inherited genetic effects, chemical carcinogen,
viral infections and UV light.
- These mutations result in genetic changes which
give rise to transformed cells, they can move to the
blood via a process called metastasis.
- Cancer is a heterogenous tissue: normal cells are
also present (blood vessels, inflammatory cells,
fibroblasts, B and T cells); for every tumor type the
normal cell composition can also be different.
- Tumor cells interact with each other but also with Hallmarks
