Question from a noob: I just browse the Wikipedia page from this person who is a well known computer scientist with a specialization on genome sequencing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Salzberg

But there is no mention of the word "cancer" in this wiki page.

While I perfectly understand that the classical view from "the hallmarks of cancer" (that I read several times) is that cancer implies a strong involvement of genetics defects, I think that now there is a more complex view of cancer diseases.

For example the number of publications on microbial involvement in cancer exploded in recent years.

Could someone enlighten me?
