Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations may accumulate during the multistage progression of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC), leading to heterogeneity within the tumor. This study sought to determine whether metachronous adenocarcinomas with a BAC component emerging in the lung field arise from a single or multiple clones in the same individual. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Samples of...
