A phenotypical map of disseminated hepatocellular carcinoma suggests clonal constraints in metastatic sites

Abstract

Access to tissue in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is limited compared to other malignancies, particularly at advanced stages. This has precluded a thorough characterisation of molecular drivers of HCC dissemination, particularly in relation to distant metastases. Biomarker assessment is restricted to early stages, and paired primary–metastatic comparisons between samples from the same patient are difficult.
