High intratumor genetic heterogeneity is related to worse outcome in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
20 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although the presence of genetic heterogeneity within the tumors of individual patients is established, it is unclear whether greater heterogeneity predicts a worse outcome. A quantitative measure of genetic heterogeneity based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, mutant-allele tumor heterogeneity (MATH), was previously developed and applied to a data set on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma...
