Co-evolution of somatic variation in primary and metastatic colorectal cancer may expand biopsy indications in the molecular era.
Metastasis is thought to be a clonal event whereby a single cell initiates the development of a new tumor at a distant site. However the degree to which primary and metastatic tumors differ on a molecular level remains unclear. To further evaluate these concepts, we used next generation sequencing (...
