Abstract:
By convention, a contralateral breast cancer (CBC) is treated as a new primary tumor, independent of the first cancer (BC1). Although there have been indications that the second tumor (BC2) sometimes may represent a metastatic spread of BC1, this has never been conclusively shown. We sought to apply next-generation sequencing to determine a "genetic barcode" for each tumor and reveal the clonal relationship of CBCs.Ten CBC patients with detailed clinical information and available fresh frozen tu...     »
