Oncology and Biophysics: A Need for Integration

Excerpt: "Although  we  have  gone  to  great  lengths  to  investigate  the  role  of   biochemical   signaling   pathways   in   tumor   development   and   progression,  we  have  ignored  the  role  of  endogenous  bioelectric  signals  that  emanate  from  cell  membrane  ion  channels,  pumps  and  gap junctions. These endogenous signals create electromagnetic fields that  have  long  range  effects  on  cell  behavior  and  gene  expression  [23]. Failure to include them in the study of cancer development and progression leaves a large knowledge gap that is hindering progress in clinical therapeutics"
