Lack of shared neoantigens in prevalent mutations in cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Tumors are mostly characterized by genetic instability, as result of mutations in surveillance mechanisms, such as DNA damage checkpoint, DNA repair machinery and mitotic checkpoint. Defect in one or more of these mechanisms causes additive accumulation of mutations. Some of these mutations are drivers of transformation and are positively selected during the evolution of the cancer, giving a growth advantage on...
