Abstract excerpt
Cancers are thought to arise through multistep accumulation of somatic mutations in the progeny of a single cell. Multiple mutations may induce molecular intratumor heterogeneity. Therefore, we examined molecular clonal heterogeneity in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas. Twenty-four esophageal squamous cell carcinomas and associated lymph node metastases were examined for microsatellite alterations, and...
