Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To gain biological insights into lung metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we compared the whole-genome sequencing profiles of primary HCC and paired lung metastases. METHODS: We used whole-genome sequencing at 33X-43X coverage to profile somatic mutations in primary HCC (HBV+) and metachronous lung metastases (> 2 years interval). RESULTS: In total, 5,027-13,961 and 5,275-12,624 somatic...
