Towards the elucidation of the mechanisms underlying breast cancer mutations %K %X The genome of cancer cells is characterized by the presence of somatic mutations acquired during the processes of neoplastic transformation and clonal expansion. A small fraction of these mutations, called drivers, causally affect oncogenesis by conferring growth advantage. The remaining mutations, also called passengers, do not contribute to the advantage of tumor growth (1,2). %U https://tcr.amegroups.org/article/view/1121 %V 2 %N 2 %P 100-102 %@ 2219-6803
