As far as I know (I didn’t work in cancer research but did get a masters in a related field) all cancers have an active mutated gene. This means there is something detectable in every cell we consider part of the tumor : an mRNA with the mutated sequence.
I don’t know of a biological mechanism where cancer could be possible without this.
So scientifically speaking, we are post theory, and there are not important theoretical gaps.
Why aren’t there treatments based on this? Well there are. In rats...
