Tracking the Evolution of Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Among patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), data on intratumor heterogeneity and cancer genome evolution have been limited to small retrospective cohorts. We wanted to prospectively investigate intratumor heterogeneity in relation to clinical outcome and to determine the clonal nature of driver events and evolutionary processes in early-stage NSCLC.In this prospective cohort study, we performed multiregion whole-exome sequencing on...
