Abstract excerpt
Advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma is characterized by extensive intratumoral genomic heterogeneity and branched as well as convergent evolutionary traits with genomically different subclones evolving in parallel in the same tumor. Distinct driver mutations can be found in spatially separated subclones, which may hinder the development of novel targeted therapies. However, truncal mutations of the VHL tumor...
