The tissue organization field theory is a biological theory developed by researchers Ana Soto and Carlos Sonnenschein regarding the emergence of cancer. Tissue organization field theory (TOFT) assumes that cancer is a tissue-based disease as opposed to the cell-based somatic mutation theory (SMT) that has dominated cancer research. According to TOFT the default state of cells is proliferation and cancer occurs by the loosening of the differentiated state of a tissue. Also according to TOFT cancer is reversible.
