Genomic hallmarks of localized, non-indolent prostate cancer

…, JF Hopkins, SK Govind, C Fung, D Waggott… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
Prostate tumours are highly variable in their response to therapies, but clinically available
prognostic factors can explain only a fraction of this heterogeneity. Here we analysed 200 …
