Abstract
This article deals with three related questions: (1) whether malignancy is determined by genetic or epigenetic mechanisms; (2) whether epigenetic mechanisms, as conventionally defined, actually exist; (3) what criteria are appropriate for defining dominance or recessiveness of the malignant state in cell fusion experiments.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
