Systems Biology for Understanding Cancer Biology

Image

During last decades the theoretical framework in carcinogenesis studies has been provided by the Somatic Mutation Theory (SMT). SMT envisions understanding cancer at the cellular level of organization, by claiming that cancer is a problem of regulatory control of cell proliferation and invasiveness, mainly due to mutations and/or deregulation of a specific class of genes

Even though SMT has fostered a meaningful development of molecular-based technologies, on the other hand that approach has encompassed an increasing number of experimental results that contradict its premises .

Additionally, current therapeutic approaches based on SMT have been proven to be ineffective in clinical cancer management to the extent that, for now, is urgently required a careful rethinking of our treatment strategies .
