Copy Number Variation Analysis of Matched Ovarian Primary Tumors and Peritoneal Metastasis



Blogger's note: technical

Our study highlights the benefit and importance of performing paired analysis of primary tumors and their metastatic lesions in ovarian cancer. While comparison of primary and metastasis as groups provided insight into cancer development, the matched analysis allowed more specific detection of consistent differences. Indeed advanced disease allows access to not only the primary but also the different metastatic sites. It has been clearly demonstrated that the patients' prognosis relies on tumor residue; therefore it is critical to understand the biology of the metastatic lesions in order to design appropriate new therapeutic approaches. The results presented here should be a step in that direction.
