Talk:Clonally transmissible cancer

Suggested addition to first paragraph last line
I suggest this addition to clarify things.

"Parasitic cancers are distinct from cancers caused by infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria, which are more common, in that they are not caused by infectious agents but that they themselves are infectious."

 * A draft of the rewrite is now available at http://compbiolwiki.plos.org/wiki/Clonally_transmissible_cancers . Comments and suggestions most welcome. -- Daniel Mietchen (talk) 14:50, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Obviously much better, but at the moment it is way under-referenced by WP:MEDRS standards (which indeed usually have more references than medical review articles). But whole paras have no refs. Did you post a request for comments at the medical project talk? I can't really comment on the detail. Johnbod (talk) 17:04, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I left some further notes on the talk page of the draft. -- Daniel Mietchen (talk) 04:19, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Vaginally transmitted cancer via childbirth
This may be important to this page: https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2030391:
 * "Two cases of pediatric lung cancer (in 23-month-old and 6-year-old boys) resulting from mother-to-infant transmission of uterine cervical tumors were incidentally detected during routine next-generation sequencing of paired samples of tumor and normal tissue."
