Comparative exome sequencing of metastatic lesions provides insights into the mutational progression of melanoma.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Metastasis is characterized by spreading of neoplastic cells to an organ other than where they originated and is the predominant cause of death among cancer patients. This holds true for melanoma, whose incidence is increasing more rapidly than any other cancer and once disseminated has few therapeutic options. Here we performed whole exome sequencing of two sets of matched normal and metastatic tumor...
