In this week issue of the journal Science, geneticists reported on the first sequencing of the tumor, giving some clues as to the origin and spread of CTVT. Cancer, as you and I usually know it, originates as a mutant cell that replicates out of control in an individual. If someone else cancer cell somehow gets into my body, my immune system will attack this foreign cell鈥攁s it would attack all foreign things.
