Abstract excerpt
Cancer drug resistance is a major problem, with the majority of patients with metastatic disease ultimately developing multidrug resistance and succumbing to their disease. Our understanding of molecular events underpinning treatment failure has been enhanced by new genomic technologies and pre-clinical studies. Intratumour genetic heterogeneity (ITH) is a prominent contributor to therapeutic failure, and it is...
