The enigma of cancer polyploidy as deciphered by evolutionary cancer cell biology (ECCB) by Vladimir F. Niculescu, Eugenia R. Niculescu

“…The cells lose their stemness and differentiation potential but persist in proliferation as low-grade polyploids (4n) through defective symmetric cell division (DSCD). Genomic integrity can be restored through homotypic cell and nuclear fusion, resulting in the formation of high-grade polyploids known as multinucleated genome repair syncytia, or by inductive hyperpolyploidization of more than 64n, as observed in single-celled polyploid giant cancer cells. …”
