摘要
To date, classical deterministic Newtonian physics has been used by biologists to describe living processes. However, it is increasingly appreciated that the probabilistic view offered by quantum mechanics more accurately describes the behavior of atoms and materials in all systems. Here, we discuss how the concepts of quantum mechanics can be applied to biological processes involved in cancer. We present a concise summary inspired by Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle to describe our «Genetic Environmental Field Hypothesis». Combining the uncertainties of genetic changes as expressed by epigenetic changes and/or somatic mutations with the uncertainties of environmental changes, cells may become cancerous as a way to increase entropy. Throughout the paper we will utilize the H19 gene system as an example. Using the concepts of quantum mechanics to describe oncological processes may provide novel directions in our understanding of cancer.
