A new study published in Science suggests that even though most cancers are unavoidable, but sometimes they are caused by bad luck. According to the researchers, mutation, which drives cancer, is actually totally normal. In fact, it is the engine of evolution–if not for mutation, our genes wouldn’t mak...
