Abstract

Cancer is a complex disease and within a cancer, subtypes of patients with distinct behaviors often exist. The subtypes might have been caused by different hits, such as copy number aberrations (CNAs) and point mutations, on different pathways/cells-of-origin in a common tissue/organ. Identifying the subtypes with subtype-specific drivers, i.e., hits, is key to the understanding of cancer and development of novel treatments.
