摘要: In this review we elaborate on the hypothesis that concepts adapted from statistical thermodynamics, such as entropy and Gibbs free energy, can provide very powerful quantitative measures when applied to cancer research, in particular dormancy. We discuss how all size scales of biological organization hierarchy DNA tissue organ representation, progression be correlated with these thermodynamic measures. Significant diagnostic, prognostic therapeutic implications new organizing principles are presented.
