Genetic heterogeneity and clonal evolution during metastasis in breast cancer patient-derived tumor xenograft models
Genetic heterogeneity within a tumor arises by clonal evolution, and patients with highly heterogeneous tumors are more likely to be resistant to therapy and have reduced survival. Clonal evolution also occurs when a subset of cells leave the primary tumor to form metastases, which leads to reduced...
