Necessity of Genetic Evaluation of Metachronous Metastases of Colorectal Cancer: Quantitative Analysis of Genetic Discordance Between Metachronous Metastases and Radically Resected Primary Colorectal Cancers Using Next-Generation Sequencing

CONCLUSIONS: Genetic discordance can exist between metachronous metastases and radically resected primary colorectal cancers. For appropriate target therapy, genetic evaluation of metachronous metastases needs to be considered when possible. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/A932.
