In a new study, scientists have quantified the somatic mutation theory of cancer by comparing stem-cell division rates in different tumors with the lifetime risk of cancer in corresponding tissues. They found a strong correlation, suggesting that two thirds of the variation in cancer risk in these tissues can be explained by random mutations that occur as stem cells divide.
