科学家：得不得癌症基本看运气

沃格斯坦博士表示：“打字的时候我们可以通过确保自己意识清醒、键盘上的键没有缺漏，来减少拼写错误。”

"But typos will still occur because no-one can type perfectly."

“但是，打错字的情况仍会出现，毕竟，谁也做不到一字不错。”

Professor Mel Greaves, director of the Centre for Evolution and Cancer at The Institute of Cancer Research in London, said: "Even if, as this study suggests, most individual cancer mutations are due to random chance, the researchers admit that the cancers they cause may still be preventable.

伦敦癌症研究所进化与癌症中心董事梅尔•格里夫斯教授表示：“虽然正如这项研究显示的那样，大多数癌基因变异是因为细胞分裂时随机产生的错误所致，但是，研究人员也承认说，这种癌症或许也能预防。”

"We have good evidence to show that cancer is caused by a complex mix of environmental exposures, inherited risk, and random chance.

“我们有充分证据表明，癌症的发生是环境因素、遗传风险以及细胞分裂时随机产生的错误这三种因素共同所致。”

"And while the genes we inherit from our parents are unreturnable and many chance events are non-negotiable, fortunately for us, exposures are major contributors to our risk of cancer and offer a route to risk reduction or prevention."
