Modelling the genesis of human cancers is at a scientific turning point. Starting
from primary sources of normal human cells, it is now possible to reproducibly
generate several types of malignant cell populations. Powerful methods for
clonally tracking and manipulating their appearance and progression in serially
transplanted immunodeficient mice are also in place. These developments
circumvent historic drawbacks inherent in analyses of cancers produced in model
organisms, established human malignant cell lines, or highly heterogeneous
patient samples. In this review, we survey the advantages, contributions and
limitations of current de novo human tumorigenesis strategies and note several
exciting prospects on the horizon.
