Distinct and Common Features of Numerical and Structural Chromosomal Instability across Different Cancer Types
A large proportion of tumours is characterised by numerical or structural chromosomal instability (CIN), defined as an increased rate of gaining or losing whole chromosomes (W-CIN) or of accumulating structural aberrations (S-CIN). Both W-CIN and S-CIN are associated with tumourigenesis, cancer prog...
