So how could that be culminating in cancer?

That's an excellent question, James.

And the fact of the matter is, if you'd asked me this question five or six years ago, I would have said the same, that cancer is all about mutations.

But it turns out that we are what's called a somatic mosaic of mutant clones.

And what does that mean in English, Charlie? Well, in English, what that means is as we age, we accumulate mutations in all of our cells in our body.
