Episode notes
Oncogene Theory's Fifty-Year Failure
- The dominant oncogene/genetic theory of cancer arose around 1973 with the 'war on cancer' claim.
- After 50+ years, Dr. Tom Cowan notes no therapy based on that theory has convincingly emerged.
Genetic Changes May Be Downstream Effects
- Genetic abnormalities exist but may be downstream chemical changes, not primary causes.
- Cowan argues nucleus-focused explanations ignore cytoplasmic experiments that shift causality to the cytoplasm.
War On Cancer Origin Story
- Cowan recounts the Nixon-era announcement of the 'war on cancer' and the rise of oncogene theory.
- He uses that history to explain why huge funding focused on gene hypotheses dominated research agendas.
