Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Most lung adenocarcinomas consist of mixtures of histological subtypes harboring different frequencies of driver gene mutations. However, little is known about intratumoral heterogeneity(ITH) within histologically heterogeneous primary lung cancers. Investigating key driver genes in respective morphological pattern is crucial to personalized treatment. METHODS: Morphologically different areas within...
