Abstract excerpt
The temporal order in which cancer hallmark phenotypes emerge can influence tumor behavior and prognosis. In prior work, we used variant allele frequency (VAF) analysis to infer hallmark acquisition order in over 30,000 tumors, identifying two dominant evolutionary trajectories: one characterized by early genome instability (EGI) and the other by late genome instability (LGI). These trajectories were associated...
