Driving to Cancer on a Four-Lane Expressway. Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Recent findings from a prospective clinical study involving multiregion whole-exome sequencing suggest that driver mutations in cancer-relevant genes including EGFR and TP53 are often clonal and precede whole-genome duplication events in early lung carcinogenesis. This paves an expressway to extensive subclonal diversification, elevated intratumoral heterogeneity, and dismal disease outcome.
