Hallmarks of Cancer: New Dimensions. rd\mFz-SB
The hallmarks of cancer conceptualization is a heuristic tool for distilling the vast )_b#c+
complexity of cancer phenotypes and genotypes into a provisional set of underly- gh}FZs5P
ing principles. As knowledge of cancer mechanisms has progressed, other facets of the disease have YL&$cT]1
emerged as potential refinements. Herein, the prospect is raised that phenotypic plasticity and dis- B_M)<Ad
rupted differentiation is a discrete hallmark capability, and that nonmutational epigenetic reprogram- |hehROUn
ming and polymorphic microbiomes both constitute distinctive enabling characteristics that facilitate JGSeu =)
the acquisition of hallmark capabilities. Additionally, senescent cells, of varying origins, may be added Kwfrh?
to the roster of functionally important cell types in the tumor microenvironment.
