Inferring parsimonious migration histories for metastatic cancers.

Abstract excerpt

Metastasis is the migration of cancerous cells from a primary tumor to other anatomical sites. Although metastasis was long thought to result from monoclonal seeding, or single cellular migrations, recent phylogenetic analyses of metastatic cancers have reported complex patterns of cellular migrations between sites, including polyclonal migrations and reseeding. However, accurate determination of migration...
