Abstract excerpt
Collision tumors are thought to arise from the accidental meeting of two independent tumors. Here we present five gastroesophageal junction tumors consisting of two collision tumors and three composite tumors (characterized by two divergent lineages originating from the same neoplastic clonal proliferation), as diagnosed on histology. In an attempt to prove this distinction at a genetic level, we performed TP53...
