Deskripsi

The mutational effects of chemotherapies on healthy cells are unclear. Here, the authors show that the mutational signature of platinum-based drugs -but not 5-fluorouracil- is detectable in secondary acute myeloid leukemia, implying that the clonal expansion begins after the start of therapy.
