Abstract excerpt
Osteosarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumor that has a high potential to metastasize to lungs. Little is known about the mechanisms underlying the dissemination of OS cancer cells to lungs.

Phylogenetic analyses revealed that lung metastatic tumors often harbor clones that are nonexistent or rare in...
