Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Differentiation between intrapulmonary metastasis (IPM) and multiple primary lung cancers (MPLC) in patients with synchronous or metachronous lung tumor nodules is critical but challenging. OBJECTIVE: We proposed an algorithm to evaluate clonal origin based on trunk (initiating) versus branching drivers and the prevalence of mutations in lung adenocarcinomas. METHODS: Driver mutations were examined...
