How is the evolution of tumour resistance at organ-scale impacted by the importance of the organ for fitness?
Abstract Background A strong variability in cancer incidence is observed between human organs. Recently, it has been suggested that the relative contribution of organs to organism fitness (reproduction or survival) could explain at least a part of the observed variation. The objective of this study...
