Abstract
There are numerous stochastic models for cancer risk for a given tissue. Many rely on the following two hypotheses. 1. There is a fixed probability that a given cell division will eventually lead to a cancerous cell. 2. Cell divisions are nefarious or not independently of each other. We show that recent data on cancer risk and number of stem divisions is consistent with hypotheses 1 and 2.
