Tumor mutational burden as a determinant of metastatic dissemination patterns.

Abstract excerpt

According to the seed and soil hypothesis, the organ specificity of metastasis is not a random process and depends on multiple tumor-intrinsic and microenvironmental factors. In this study, we characterized the mutational landscape of a large cohort of human metastatic samples to investigate whether mutational trends determine metastatic dissemination. Genomic data from nine cancer types (bladder, breast,...
