The formation of a cancer is an evolutionary process. A somatic cell may acquire an (epi)-mutation that gives it a growth advantage relative to its neighbours. Progression to cancer occurs as cells in the resulting mutant clone acquire additional mutations, which may also confer a selective advantag...
