Phylogenetic analyses of melanoma reveal complex patterns of metastatic dissemination
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Subpopulations of cells in a primary melanoma sometimes disseminate and establish metastases, which usually cause mortality. By sequencing tumor samples from patients with metastatic melanoma never subjected to targeted therapies, we were able to trace the genetic evolution of cells in the primary that seed metastases. We show that distinct cells in the primary depart multiple times in parallel to seed metastases, often after evolving from a common, parental cell subpopulation. Intriguingly, we also determine that single metastases can be founded by more than one cell population found in the primary cancer. These mechanisms show how profound genetic diversity arises naturally among multiple metastases, driving growth and drug resistance, but also indicate that certain mutations may distinguish cells destined to metastasize.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
