The causes and consequences of genetic heterogeneity in cancer evolution

RA Burrell, N McGranahan, J Bartek, C Swanton�- Nature, 2013 - nature.com
Recent studies have revealed extensive genetic diversity both between and within tumours.
This heterogeneity affects key cancer pathways, driving phenotypic variation, and poses a�…
