Abstract excerpt
Sporadic synchronous colorectal cancer (CRC) refers to more than one primary tumor detected in a single patient at the time of the first diagnosis without predisposition of cancer development. Given the same genetic and microenvironment they raise, sporadic synchronous CRC is a unique model to study CRC tumorigenesis. We performed whole exome sequencing in 32 fresh frozen tumor lesions from 15 patients with...
