Every cancer is unique – why different cancers require different treatments, and how evolution drives drug resistance

Evolution in animals is driven by mutations in the DNA of germ cells the sperm and egg that fuse to form an embryo.

Mutations may confer traits that differ from those of the offspring’s parents such as larger paws, sharper teeth or lighter hair color.

Cancer detected at the earliest stages of this evolution can be treated more effectively than cancer at more advanced stages.

Cancer cells from different organs look distinct from one another and contain different proteins.

Deaths from cancer in the U.S. have declined since the early 1990s .

The fight against cancer is a fight against evolution, the fundamental process that has driven life on Earth since time immemorial, Joshua Warrick and Monika Joshi say.

They say treatment can push cancer to evolve further, gaining advantageous mutations that help them survive and resist therapy.
