Understanding the heterogeneity of growth, response to therapy and progression dynamics in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains critical. Here, the authors analyse lesion-specific response heterogeneity in 4,308 mCRC patients and find that organ-level progression sequence is associated with long-term survival.
