Melanoma Genomics: Shifting Focus from Inter- to Intrapatient Variation

A Hunter Shain. Cancer Discov. .

Abstract

Traditionally, omic studies have prioritized the number of patients over the number of tumors per patient, but in a reversal of this study design, Spain and colleagues performed the largest intrapatient analysis of melanoma to date. Their work reveals mechanisms of treatment resistance, patterns of metastatic dissemination, and new insights into the evolutionary trajectories of melanoma. See related article by Spain et al., p. 1364 (1).
