Abstract excerpt
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) exhibits metastatic organotropism, primarily targeting liver, lung, and rarely the brain. Here, we study chromosomal imbalances (CIs) in cohorts of primary CRCs and metastases. Brain metastases show the highest burden of CIs, including aneuploidies and focal CIs, with enrichment of +12p encoding KRAS. Compared to liver and lung metastases, brain metastases present with increased...
