There is an interesting theory that cancer is related to the electrical potential of the cell. To quote the paper Gerald Pollack has written on the theory:

How might these features of electrical potential relate to the issue of cancer?

While the magnitude of the stable electrical potential may vary among different cells, typically it lies in the range of -50 mV to -100 mV. When we were carrying out electrophysiological measurements during early career, we knew that when the electrical potential was of smaller magnitude, the cell might be struggling to stay alive and it was time to switch to specimens with more normal electrical potentials. Others knew the same. That experience squares with the idea of the electrical potential as a critical feature of cell function. For the cell to operate properly, it must maintain a robust negative electrical potential.

Thus, a striking clue comes from the electrical potential of cancer cells. That potential magnitude is consistently small. Compared to the electrical potential of most normal cells, cancer cells exhibit potentials on the order of only 10 - 15 mV. That low electrical potential is seen over diverse cancer-cell types [31-35]. It is a characteristic feature.

There is also some evidence for deuterium-depleted water being related to cancer pathology. Water seems to play a part in cancer. It's important to note that these are both just theories, but they are also both consistent with the Warburg hypothesis.

Hopefully we get a better view into the disease state sooner than later. A holistic approach may be far better than the reductionist way of seeing cancer as a genetic condition.
