Abstract
Heterogeneity in leiomyosarcomas (LMS) makes treatment of the disease challenging. Here the authors analyze LMS heterogeneity and molecular LMS subtypes using genomics and transcriptomics, finding origins in distinct lineages and associations with survival, in addition to the early emergence of metastatic clones.
