Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The majority of pulmonary carcinoid (PC) tumors can be cured by surgical resection alone, but a significant proportion of patients experience recurrence. As PC is insensitive to conventional chemotherapy, further clarification of the molecular mechanisms of metastasis is needed in order to develop targeted therapeutics. METHODS: We performed comprehensive whole-exome sequencing (WES) of primary...
