While these mutations do not directly relate to the development or progression of a tumor, they can reveal its lineage — how individual tumor cells are related to each other. (sciencedaily.com)
The research also showed that gene expression patterns of individual tumors varied considerably, and could exceed the variation observed between different cancer types. (scilifelab.se)
The research team will use novel laboratory techniques to further understand what is happening within each cancer biopsy, and how individual tumors will respond to therapy. (gumc.georgetown.edu)
