Chromosomal copy number heterogeneity predicts survival rates across cancers

Chromosomal copy number heterogeneity predicts survival rates across cancers

Intratumour heterogeneity (ITH) is associated with worse prognosis in cancer, and efficient frameworks to measure it are needed. Here the authors develop a method to estimate copy number heterogeneity, and propose that it is driven by chromosomal instability and can predict pan-cancer survival.
