According to recent research, the most common solid
tumors (that is, cancer that occurs as clusters of cells in or on organs, rather than in liquid form within the blood or lymphatic system) have up to 66 mutations that influence how the cancer cells operate — how fast they divide, whether they are susceptible to the signals that would normally cause a cell to die, when they detach from the
main tumor to colonize another organ in the body, when and where they attach blood vessels to healthy
tissues.
