Original Theory: In 1999, Garcia-Olmo and coworkers proposed the “Hypothesis of Genometastasis” in the following words: “Metastasis might occur via transfection of susceptible cells, located in distant target organs, with dominant oncogenes that are derived from the primary tumor and are circulating in the plasma.” This phenomenon was tentatively named “genometastasis.”
