Dr. Andrea Sottoriva, of The Institute of Cancer Research, London, explains a new study showing that the spread of mutations through a cancer follows natural laws - and is therefore theoretically predictable, just as we can predict the movement of celestial bodies or the weather.
This intriguing research raises the possibility that doctors could take clinical decisions on how an individual patient's cancer will change, and what treatments should be used, by applying mathematical formulas to tumor biopsies.
