Abstract excerpt
One of the well-known hallmarks of cancer is genomic instability. Although gradualism is a well-established process of cancer evolution, recent studies have shown that chromothripsis or chromoanasynthesis can result in complex genomic rearrangements by a single catastrophic event rather than several incremental steps. These two novel phenomena suggest an evolutionary modality for cancer cells to circumvent...
