Abstract excerpt
Preinvasive breast cancer, or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), shares many morphologic and genomic features with invasive breast cancer, yet most DCIS tumors remain indolent over decades. In this study, we performed spatial analyses of somatic mutation patterns in 18 DCIS tumors to infer the underlying growth dynamics. Experimental data combined with mathematical models and Bayesian computation revealed a growth...
