A genetic portrait of metastatic seeds in lung adenocarcinoma

Cancer Cell. 2023 May 8;41(5):828-830. doi: 10.1016/j.ccell.2023.04.004.

Abstract

Patients with lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD) frequently develop metastasis. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Lengel et al. perform a comprehensive analysis of metastasis patterns in 2,532 LUAD samples to identify clinicopathologic and genomic features of LUAD tumors associated with metastatic development, burden, and organotropism.
