So, this really changed my view of looking at cancer.

But it struck me that I'd never heard of cancer of the heart, or cancer of any skeletal muscle for that matter.

Some articles even went as far as to say that skeletal muscle tissue is resistant to cancer, and furthermore, not only to cancer, but of metastases going to skeletal muscle.

It's the part of cancer that is the most dangerous.

Meaning that you have muscle cells, but they're not dividing, so it doesn't seem like a good target for cancer to hijack.

And you think, the more highways there are in a tissue, the more likely it is to get cancer or to get metastases.

So first of all I thought, you know, "Wouldn't it be favorable to cancer getting to skeletal muscle?"

And as well, cancer tumors require a process called angiogenesis, which is really, the tumor recruits the blood vessels to itself to supply itself with nutrients so it can grow.

So angiogenesis is really a central process to the pathogenesis of cancer.

And one article that really stood out to me when I was just reading about this, trying to figure out why cancer doesn't go to skeletal muscle, was that it had reported 16 percent of micro-metastases to skeletal muscle upon autopsy.

And chemokines are essentially chemical attractants, and they're the stop and go signals for cancer.

So even to go from there, it's possible, although far-fetched, that in the future we could almost think of cancer being used as a therapy.

What first got me thinking about this was a blog post authored earlier this year by Derek K. Miller, who was a science and technology journalist who died of cancer.

Cancer exploded the wall of my disconnection.

Before cancer, the world was something other.

It was as if I was living in a stagnant pool and cancer dynamited the boulder that was separating me from the larger sea.

So a woman, age 37, presents with stage 2 estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.

Two years later, she comes back with stage 3C ovarian cancer, unfortunately; treated again with surgery and chemotherapy.

She comes back three years later at age 42 with more ovarian cancer, more chemotherapy.

If you have this deleterious mutation in this gene, you're 90 percent likely to get cancer in your life.

I mean, if they have the same mutation, and they get this genetic test and they understand it, then they can get regular screens and can catch cancer early, and potentially live a significantly longer life.

Everyone's familiar with cancer, but we don't normally think of cancer as being a contagious disease.

The Tasmanian devil has shown us that, not only can cancer be a contagious disease, but it can also threaten an entire species with extinction.

And the reason for that is the emergence of a new disease, a contagious cancer.

Scientists around the world were intrigued by this cancer, this infectious cancer, that was spreading through the Tasmanian devil population.

And our minds immediately turned to cervical cancer in women, which is spread by a virus, and to the AIDS epidemic, which is associated with a number of different types of cancer.

All the evidence suggested that this devil cancer was spread by a virus.

In fact, the infectious agent of disease in this cancer is something altogether more sinister, and something that we hadn't really thought of before.

But in order for me to explain what that is, I need to spend just a couple of minutes talking more about cancer itself.

One in three people in this room will develop cancer at some stage in their lives.
