Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Brain metastases (BMs) occur in ∼1/3 of cancer patients and are associated with poor prognosis. Genomic alterations contribute to BM development; however, mutations that predispose and promote BM development are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To identify differences in genomic alterations between BM and primary tumors. METHODS: A retrospective cohort of 144 BM patients were tested for genomic...
