Before revision:  Thus, these results elucidate intrinsic network properties of cancer and support the view that the observed increased robustness of cancer cells to perturbation and therapy may be due to an increase in the dynamical network entropy allowing cells to adapt to extracellular stresses .
After revision:  Thus, these results elucidate intrinsic network properties of cancer and support the view that the observed increased robustness of cancer cells to perturbation and therapy may be due to an increase in the dynamical network entropy allowing cells to adapt to the new cellular stresses. Conversely, genes that exhibit local flux entropy decreases in cancer may render cancer cells more susceptible to targeted intervention and may therefore represent promising drug targets .
