the claim that differences in cancer risk across tissues track the number of stem cell divisions, so much risk comes from random replication errors.

In cancer biology, stem cell division theory of cancer risk refers to the claim that differences in cancer risk across tissues track the number of stem cell divisions, so much risk comes from random replication errors. This meaning comes from Tomasetti (2015) in Science.[1]
