Every so often you come across a scientific study that changes all the rules and undermines the certainties that people think apply to life and knowledge – referred to as a paradigm shift. Obvious examples like Albert Einstein’s original paper on special relativity spring to mind. Something momentous was published last week by the prestigious journal Nature entitled “The evolution of non-small cell lung cancer metastases in TRACERx” which potentially undermines many of the arguments used to promote the development of new biotech medicines including mRNA vaccines for cancer.

 

This is a highly technical paper to read but one of the authors offered a summary accessible to a layman in a BBC interview entitled “Study reveals cancer’s ‘infinite’ ability to evolve”. TRACERx is a ground-breaking nine-year-long study of metastasising lung cancers which has provided the most in-depth analysis yet of how cancers evolve and what causes them to spread:
