Cancer arises mainly from mutations in somatic cells. However, it is not the result of a single mutation, rather, it results from increasing genetic disarray accumulated over time. Tumorigenesis in humans is, therefore, a multistep and age-dependent process.
The multiple mechanisms and multiple players involved in this process necessitate an understanding of the molecular mechanisms, in order to distinctively classify the tumor sample and to assess the risk and treatment of the disease.
