Tumormutationslast
TumorMutationslast refers to mutations that arise in a tumor at a late stage of its development. These late-acquired mutations can be significant because they may contribute to the tumor's ability to resist treatment, metastasize, or evade the immune system. Unlike early driver mutations that initiate tumor formation, tumorMutationslast often represent a more recent evolutionary adaptation of the cancer. Understanding these late-evolving mutations is crucial for developing effective therapeutic strategies, especially for advanced or recurrent cancers.
The identification of tumorMutationslast can be challenging, as they may be present in a subpopulation of tumor
