Abstract excerpt
We investigated clonal intratumor heterogeneity by comparing different areas of each tumor in 20 gastrointestinal cancers from female patients (1 esophageal cancer, 5 stomach cancers, and 14 colorectal cancers). In all 19 cases informative for X-inactivation analysis with the M27 beta and/or the...
