Abstract
This is a scientific introduction to review the concept of cancer from a purely genetic perspective in which we try to link the development of tumors by the driving force of the evolution of living beings: the mutations. And to prove the assumption that cancer diversity has a parallel route instead of the whole development process of the cell. Calling for expanding the rolling concept of cancer and tumors definition in general. Which may contribute to altering the angle of our vision to this dangerous biological phenomenon. This call is based on the hypothesis that cancer is a genetic phenomenon that has arisen on the margins of the evolution process, that has continued since the beginning of creation. The pieces of evidence and indications that support this view were presented successively.

To the editor Hope my message finds you well On behalf of authors, we wish to propose an opinion manuscript entitled “Rereading of genetic origins of cancer: the puzzle of all eras” for your evaluation as an opinion article by your respected journal . We agree to classify the manuscript as opinion piece, editorial letter or another category you find it suitable. This manuscript carries a new view of the cancer genetic origins, the main idea is that cancer and tumors, in general, are one of the side effects of the evolution process. We tried to present the idea and explain the phenomena support this hypothesis. Calling for expanding the rolling concept of cancer and tumors definition in general. Hope this letter -if it deserves your interest -shall attract more discussion and lends further lights on this issue, which might be helping humanity in conflict against cancer. looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your valued time Yours Sincerely, The Authors, Team of Oncology researches, Hassan II University of Casablanca
