Elements and evolutionary determinants of genomic divergence between paired primary and metastatic tumors. by Ruping Sun, Athanasios N Nikolakopoulos

“…On the other hand, a monotonic relationship holds when we condition on the dynamics of progressive diversification, or by restricting the seeding cells to always originate from undetectable subclones. Our results highlight the fact that a precise understanding of tumor growth dynamics is the sine qua non for exploiting M-P divergence to reconstruct the chronology of metastatic dissemination. …”
