Cancer cells (unlike normal analogs) have a variable membrane potential on their surface, which depends on the intensity of metabolism of this type of cells and the environmental hydrogen index: in the case of low-pH (acid medium) they are known to have either a low negative or even positive charge, while in the case of high-pH (alkaline medium) - a relatively high negative charge. In this paper we suggest that the processes of metastasis, progression and invasion ongoing in a macro organism can be ascribed to the presence of exactly this variable electric charge in a cancer cell.

In order that normal cells are transformed into malignant ones, they should undergo the following two stages: (1) initiation - the precancerous cell (first-stage synkarion) formation, and (2) promotion - the true tumor cell (second-stage synkaryon) formation. For promoting the tumor process, i.
