Tumor recurrence presents substantial clinical challenges and is (reminiscent of our deviant tumor pairs) and further revealed a leading cause of cancer mortality. Comprehensive genomic that epigenetic and genomic events converge during malignant profiling initiatives, including the coordinated efforts of The progression. Epigenetics are broadly implicated in cancer, and Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), have enabled the identification incriminating epigenetic events in malignant progression of gli- and cataloging of genomic alterations across the primary oma add another dimension to the model in which progression tumor ofall major cancers;yet,these tumors,including the is largely driven by genetic alterations.
