Model of age-dependent cancer morbidity as corollary fact of Cohnheim's hypothesis and random tumor growth
Cohnheim's hypothesis (1875) is one of the tumorigenesis concepts. The model for development of cancer from embryonic rest cells is considered in the article. Modeling cancer morbidity in a cohort with the model allows us to explain basic regularities of age-dependent cancer morbidity and difference between the morbidity in different populations, in particular. The model allows alternative interpretation of data on cancer morbidity.
