Dissecting tumour heterogeneity in flies: genetic basis of interclonal oncogenic cooperation.

Abstract excerpt

Cancers develop through sequential acquisition of oncogenic mutations, indicating a crucial role of genetic alterations in tumour progression. However, accumulating evidence suggests that cancers also progress towards malignancy through cell-cell interactions within heterogeneous tumour tissue. Recent studies have indicated that tumour heterogeneity not only contributes to drug resistance and tumour recurrence...
