Deskripsi

Small intestine neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) are frequently multifocal and metastatic, but their tumourigenesis is still poorly understood. Here, the authors analyse multifocal SI-NET tumours with whole-genome sequencing, revealing the landscape of genomic alterations and frequent polyclonal origins.
