I haven't read the book (but I did look at Seyfried's article about the mitochondrial origins of cancer). I also consulted with Elad Ziv, a Breast Cancer Geneticist at SFSU. According to Ziv, there ARE huge metabolic disruptions in cancer cells, but the ultimate cause of cancer relates to mutated tumor suppressor genes (like p53) and DNA repair genes (like the BRCA genes that don't appear in my video). Metabolism, says Ziv, is important and potentially causal. But that doesn't warrant dismissing genomic instability as an epiphenomenon (which is what it is, in Seyfried's view). In any case, I really appreciate your comment. Keep in mind that my purpose is to serve AP Biology students.

Wonderful explanation ❤❤
Always great to hear from you, Professor Jamshed! Thanks for your comment!
Just in time for Unit 4 test! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Amy!
Really interesting sir
Thanks!
Since you're retired, you should take the time to read Thomas Seyfried's seminal book from 2012, "Cancer as a Metabolic Mitochondrial Disease."
