Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Tumors continuously evolve to maintain growth; secondary mutations facilitate this process, resulting in high tumor heterogeneity. In this study, we compared mutations in paired primary and metastatic colorectal cancer tumor samples to determine whether tumor heterogeneity can predict tumor metastasis.Experimental Design: Somatic variations in 46 pairs of matched primary-liver metastatic tumors and 42...
